NHTSA Complaint #11568303 — 2017 TRIUMPH THRUXTON

The front brakes on my 2017 Triumph Thruxton r have developed a need to pull twice in order to get a bite. The first pull on the lever comes back very easy with little stopping power. The second pull engages and stopping power is restored. This seems dangerous when a panic situation occurs. This issue was first noticed 2 years ago and I have had the brakes bled twice, had the calipers and pistons cleaned and some relief was noticed for a short time then the issue returned. I had the bike in for a Triumph recall on the side stand spring and asked the mechanic after he test rode the bike what he thought about the brakes… he said they seemed a little spongy, needed the system bled. I told him that they were just bled and he thought maybe try again. This seems a little ridiculous to me as there seems no fix.
