Hello Guys, I feel that my V1 brakes are spongy even after installing steel braided hoses and using N Brake Pads. Was told that could be the Brake Master pump prob. What is your view on this? Thanks

Based on my knowledge, spongy brakes could be air bubbles along the brake line. Thus, you need to get your brake lines bled to eliminate the presence of air in the system. Other than that, could be your stock rubber hoses expanded over time.
Having said that, my brake pedal does feel spongy too. Tested no leakage by the way.

Well, it seems like this is the characteristic of our Ceratos. I have changed the brake fluid, done the bleeding twice at 2 wksps (just to make sure), SS braided hoses.
