I have a 2006 GSX-R 750. I just got back from a year deployment and when checking out my bike I noticed my front brakes seem to of lost some power. I pumped the brake and some of the braking power has returned. The brakes still aren't back to normal. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what is wrong and a possible fix I should try. Brake fluid levels are normal.

Check the fluid level in the front master cylinder. Chances are you need to add some brake fluid and then bleed air out of the system. There is a bleeder valve on the handlebar at the lever and one on top of the wheel caliper. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
it would seem hard for me to believe that both your front calipers would go bad at the same time.. so i would think the problems is in the brake master cylinder, its not likely, but is possible that you have contamination in the system. you may want to get this problem looked at by a mechanic.
i believe its the disc brake.check for any leakages in the hose connecting the brake pads as well as the oil levels.if its low than the threshold level please fill it up with the recommended brake oil for bike.(usually dot3 or dot4 for disc brakes) also ensure the brake pads have grooves over it and they are in proper condition.if they are worn out then the disc would be filled with black oily substance.if yes for the previous conditions change the brake pads too. thanks for contacting fix-ya
I did the same upgrade with the same bike. put a 16t in front and 64t in rear, never had a problem. just more power. I did notice when the chain was to tight things werent working right. gave the chain a little slack and the bike performs great. you might want to remove the front sprocket cover and check if the end of the clutch cable is installed properly. Hope this helps!
