[QUOTE="KaTooMer, post: 566171, member: 16246"] My understanding is that when air enters the Brembo system, the design of either the master cylinder or caliper (probably the caliper) allows a pocket of air to get trapped somewhere, and for whatever reason, can't be forced out with conventional bleeding. If you read the article from my website, part of the technique of back bleeding Brembos involves rotating the caliper around in various directions to ensure that the air pockets get dispersed as you pump fluid backwards through the system. If you can keep the air out to begin with, you may never experience the sponginess that both my KTM's have had. One of my riding buddies loves to show me how firm his '00 300EXC brake lever still is after 3 years. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to keep the air out of either of my front brake systems.
