Front brakes

[Dw07u]

Hi everyone, glad to report my electrical problems seem to be sorted now :D

But my brakes are still very spongy, no from what I can tell my brake fluid went from a level just above the middle of the reservoir ( braking fine) to just at the minimum level(still braking but not nearly enough for it to be safe)

So does this mean that air got into the system, or just my pads have worn too much or something in that line? I did not check my pads, but they have been replaced middle last year sometime if I remember correctly. Since then the bike has been in for a service and I do not know if the guys even touched the calipers or anything...

Should I try just topping the brake fluid up and see if that helps the braking?

Regards

I would top it off, and take a look at the pad's to see how much is left.

Topped it up, seems alot better now :D, like tons better :D

I'm so glad, because i did not want to bleed them... haha

Took her out for a spin too, mmmm... nice

Quick question, no I'm not saying i did this, because I did not do it... But what would happen if you fill it above the "upper level" line?

Hope you all are well

It might leak out the cap when it's hot.
