[QUOTE="gn83tm, post: 738267, member: 38076"] I would check the runout on the rotors. They may be bent a little and causing the problem you describe. I haven't personally run into the problem too much on bikes but on race cars it is common when the rotors become warped. What happens is that the runout in the rotor pushes the pads (and therefore the caliper piston back) so when you hit the brake you use up a lot of master cylinder stroke just to push the piston back out. I've known some drag racers (cars) who intentionally leave the front wheel bearings a little loose so that the rotor will shimmy a little and knock the pads back, therefore reducing brake drag.
