my front brake lever has become really stiff to pull what do I need to look at . it seems to work fine , no drag and brakes are fine but just really stiff to pull . any help would be appreciated .

 

Assuming you have an 08 based upon your profile pic, your brake fluid should have been changed 3 times already during the life of the bike and the brake lever service pin should have been changed at a minimum of 3 times, has any of that been completed?

 

Any chance the cable is hanging up in the housing? maybe dirt or something has built up in the housing? I don't know if that is possible but just a thought.

 

no fluid or pin has been changed only had the bike a year

 

Well I'd definitely start by servicing it so you know what has been done. Change the brake fluid, change the lever service pin, etc.

 

Glazed pads/rotors????

 

k tks will start with fluid and service pin change

 

so when I change fluid how can I test master cylinder and I didn't realize I bought silicone fluid is it better or worst to use

 

If your master cylinder is DOT4 DON'T use the DOT5. They don't play well together.
Unless you flush it through with 2 cans.
Your piston is probably dirty. If you crack the bleeder while pulling the lever does the fluid come out and lever drop?

 

so I already flushed it and used the dot 5, I did flush it like you said should I leave it or do it again to change back to 4
