What type of feel should I have at the front brake lever?
My brand new 08 XB12Ss has a some what soft or spongy feel. leading me to feel that I could pull the lever all the way to the bars if I tried.
My last couple of bikes including my Raptor with 4 pot Brembos and braded lines and my 03 R1 with its 4 pot mono block calipers had a much firmer feel.

I have no complaint about the power of the ZTL but I do prefer a firmer lever.
But before I go down the road of a bleed and new fluid I want to know if this feeling is STD.

Thx in advance
 
more calipers= more effort you are compressing just over 1/2 of what you are used to. sounds normal to me. it will grow on you
