[QUOTE="fjrinbc, post: 8777, member: 21"] Getting back on topic... I think Warchild was on the right path. If the caliper (and seals) are all bunged up it could be sticking and constantly applying the brakes. This would heat things up pretty badly, boiling the brake fluid, and cause the excessive pumping of the brake lever to restore pressure. And also cause the rotors to warp from too much heat. If you can pump up pressure I would think the master cylinder is fine, but have it checked out anyway. When coming to a stop at some intersections with ripply pavement mine will make 'chatter' noises, too. I consider it normal from pad movement and the hopping of the front tire. BTW: I have an '05 (non-ABS, FWIW) and the clutch 'take-up' has always been a dream-come-true. Smooth as a baby's ass, as they say. That and the wonderful low-end torque make get-aways a real treat.
