Air in front brake line from rear master cylinder. Best suggestion is to bleed all by the sequence listed in book. I would do teh rear bleeders to while I'm at and change out the fluid in the process uless its very fresh. Patience.

Mushy brakes = air in the system. You need to bleed them, and, if you don't already know, like Pigeon said, it has to be done in a specific order.

If you havent seen this site, take a look. About half way down you'll see :: brakepads :: (front brakes), :: rearbrakes ::, and on the next line :: brakefluid :: which shows the bleed sequence.

I didn't realize how badly adjusted my brakes were until I had my tires changes last month. They worked well, and weren't obnoxiously soft, but MAN were they a lot tighter when I got the bike out of the shop..
