Description of the problem | The front brakes have an issue where i need to pump the brake at least once before getting solid brake pressure. The first pull on the brake lever is spongy and goes not have solid pressure. This is especially a concern when turning into a bling corner and needing to perform emergency braking. The front caliper is not aligned evenly with the brake rotor even after this motorcycle was with the triumph dealer for over a month for repairs. I can share a video showing how the brake lever travel behaves. |
