Front brake inconsistent resistance
#17
Considering that the front brakes are probably the most important safety system on your bike, I would get that addressed asap. There might be residual air in the line. Even with a brake bleed, I once had air in my rear brake line. I bungee corded the foot lever as far as it would go and left it overnight. Then I came out in the morning and bled it again. That fixed it. Try the same process with your front brake lever. Make sure you attach a hose to the nipple on the caliper and slowly open it. Let it bleed slowly and watch the brake fluid level and make sure it stays filled so more air doesn’t get in there. If that doesn’t work, I think you need to have your master cylinder rebuilt.
