Spongy Rear brake :-/ anybody?

[zohar]

Hi people,
I have a 2004 yamaha v star 1000. Got it a month and a half ago. Love it!
The rear brake was ok until it just happened out of the blue, not sure how, but the rear brake became spongy.
Here it what happens:
First time i brake, the lever goes all the way down and doesnt brake properly
Second time i brake, it brakes much better but still not perfect...
Third time i brake it works great! just like the way it should be.
Feels like i have to "pump it" few times in order to make it work properly.

So, i took it to the mechanic, he changed the fluid, and said there's no problem with air coming out... and obviously no problem with the fluid.

Does anyone have a clue what could it be?
Did it ever happened to anybody before?
Any comments and info about this would be highly appreciated!
Thanks so much!!!
Z
