same thing on my recall, initially soft, took right back
after circle in parking lot, bled (again) supposedly and
then correct. I just installed new pads front and rear
and bled system at the calipers to flush/renew with
new synthetic brake fluid with no problems. I do use a
mitghy vac though. if needed then take to dealer to
runa digitech on it, all depends on your comfort level
on the amount of wrenching you do on your bike.....
