Brakes lose pressure if you do not ride for a while?

[QUOTE="graytaz, post: 1463390, member: 7079"] I had the same soft rear brake issue for years. Had the dealer work on it and they even replaced the rear master cylinder which was a wasted effort. I heard about the weight left on the brake pedal, I used a piece of railway track hung off a bungie cord, and found that it worked. My current mechanic has bled my brakes every couple years and only on the last one was he able to get the pedal properly firmed up after bleeding that rear a lot. I think there are a couple high points near the abs pump that can hold air pockets that are extremely difficult to get bled. Thing is that the weight on the pedal does help but bleeding the lines is the best way to resolve it. [/QUOTE]
