Description of the problem	The front brake lever gets a very soft, spongy feel on the first lever pull. I have to pump my front brake before i start to ride. After pumping the brakes they feel good as long as i use them every so often. If i don't touch them for about 15 plus minutes, they go back to being spongy and soft feeling with less braking force being applied to my front brakes. I found that it gets worse the hotter the ambient temp is. This issue happens while the motorcycle is stationary or moving. Speed doesn't matter, the things i find that effect it is outside temperature (not brake system temp) and the time between front brake actuations. Soft front brake feel and application happens on every road, elevation, city streets, freeway, highway and in my garage. I have attempted to repair this issue myself as the dealer told. Me it was normal and did not create a repair order for my vehicle. I have replaced the front brake master cylinder with an after market one, brake fluid, front brake pads and rotors, retorqued all of the brake fluid lines, replaced front wheel spacers and realigned my front brake calibers, and countless brake system fluid bleedings with and without abs pump activation while bleeding with a scan tool with no success. This has happened since the motorcycle was brand new.
