Bought my 75 a few months ago and the brakes are spongey.

So, i have changed the pads and discs front and rear, as they were all low and rusty, but that never improved the braking.

Went to bleed the brakes but thought i would have the fluid changed and bled at same time so as to cross it off the service list!! That never improved the braking either.

I am going to bleed the brakes one more time, as there are no leaks from calipers and dont have to top up at all, can't see there being any issues losing fluid.

Not sure if there is anything else, maybe the abs?

One other thing, the brake pedal squeaks when pressed, did try spraying around and behind the pedal but no change,

Steve.
