[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 1177980, member: 6354"] "All of the power on the lever to block the front wheel" Not sure what that means. All of the power to [I]lock[/I]?? It shouldn't lock, you have ABS. All of your power to even stop??? Then something else is wrong. Brake lines of one time over another might (and that's [I]might[/I]) affect the feel of the lever compared to a different set of lines, but they would have no effect on the actual effectiveness of the brakes. If the lever is spongy, the first thing to do is bleed the brakes. I know you've stated that you changed the fluid, but ANY air or water anywhere in the system will do what you describe. I'm not sure what the process is to flush the fluid in the ABS unit, or if it gets done with a regular bleed. My '03 doesn't have all them fancy-schmanzty gizmos, but even that guy is tough to get a good front brake bleed sometimes. [/QUOTE]
