Hi all -

I am trying to decide if I need to run Roxy (88 Westy) in for an immediate
brake job or ride it out awhile. The problem is a bit of a soft brake pedal.
Seems to be a little less there than what it used to be. I can usually pump
it a couple times and get a little more pedal, but it is getting a little
softer and a little closer to the floor. Pads are at about 50% and brake
fluid is at the max line...any ideas what could be causing this - bad master
cyl. maybe??

Thanks,

Scott K.
