Meaning you have to 'mash harder' or mash further?  :nixweiss: spyder

Not absolutely sure I understand what you're saying.  If it is that after changing brake fluid you now have to use excessive pedal pressure it means the dealer didn't go a good job of bleeding the brakes.

I love it when someone posts a question and others try to help and then the original poster never checks back.

Maybe after his improperly serviced brakes failed he was unable to post. :nixweiss:

Anyhow, the simple and obvious answer is, if you pay some clown to service your bike and it doesn't operate properly immediately after the "service", you need to take it back and insist he do it right.  There is no remotely valid reason for a simple fluid change to cause increased effort.
