I took my bike in for a regular (stupidly prepaid 2 yrs ago) full service about 3 weeks ago...and asked them to especially look a mushy front disc brake. Came back with a 'checked' ok...and 'this is normal'....and 'we replaced fluids".
So yesterday on a short ride the front brake handle finally pulled all the way in without really slowing the bike...in little shuddery steps. Rode right back to the *&%$#@ stealership and they took it right in. Verdict? air in line and old fluid needing replacement....which they did for free immediately when i reminded them they JUST DID this...
Brake works FINE now.... luckily I didnt killl myself in some emergency situation.
Cheeeeeze.... I learned.... mushy brakes are
not normal.... check and bleed brake fluid!
