I think I posted about brake bleeding before but I can't find the thread now, so apologies if this causes anyone a spot of deja vu...
The brakes on my 7341 have been binding. Having lubed, sprayed and bashed the various parts, it's now rolling nicely again instead of stopping dead when I dip the clutch. Nice though this is, it has exposed the fact that the brakes are very spongy when they're not binding (quite a shock as I came to the end of my first attempt to see how well it coasts with a bit of speed!).
I bled the brake system, following the manuals as well as I could understand them, and I got quite a bit of air out of one of the rears. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to have improved matters much, if at all. On first stab the pedal still gives little resistance. If I release and re-apply, it's suddenly firm and responsive. I'm assuming the pedal should be firm like that all the time. Any suggestions where I should look for a problem (or is this squidginess in fact normal)?
