[QUOTE="FLBob, post: 129007, member: 23588"] I'm not a guru of any sort, but I gotta give my $.02. Fisrt I think there two distinct issues -Is it 1)a mushy soft feeling or 2) too much lever travel? I think they are two different problems. Regarding the mushy feeling - if there are no leaks, and the feeling stays the same for a while if you hold the lever then I'd say it's air in the system or stretchy brake lines -the stainless steel lines should have fixed that. If the lever slowly compresses as you hold the squeeze, I'd say the master cylinder piston is leaking by. If it's just lever overtravel - here's my guess. Not sure about KD's and such but other brakes I've had use a "twisted O-ring" to return the brake piston when the pressure is released. As the brakes wear the O-ring slides a little in the cylinder, adjusting the brakes. I'd guess that for some reason your twisted O-ring isn't slipping(There's a song title for someone), and your brakes aren't adjusting as they should be. Good luck! Keep us posted - my new to me 97KDX2220 has a soft feel that I think I'll have to get used to I guess. Maybe when my manual shows up it will have some suggestions. [/QUOTE]
