Recent owner complaints

Service brakes
The front brakes lost compression so much that the breaks wouldn't engage until the lever was pulled all the way back to the grip. Took to the shop they said there was air in the line. Front brakes were flushed and fresh brake fluid was added. Brakes felt fine once I got it out of the shop but then lost compression again a few weeks later.

Service brakes
2019 TRIUMPH SPEED TWIN WITH BREMBO FRONT BRAKES. FRONT BRAKE LEVER FEELS MUSHY ON FIRST PULL, IT'S SOFT ENOUGH TO PULL ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BAR. IF RELEASED AND PULLED AGAIN IMMEDIATELY, THE LEVER FEELS NORMAL/MUCH FIRMER. THIS "DOUBLE PULL" ISSUE RECURS WHENEVER THE BRAKES ARE NOT USED FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE OR SO. ISSUE OCCURS BOTH WHEN THE BIKE IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE BIKE WAS NEW. BRAKES WERE BLED TWICE BY THE SELLING DEALER, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTS.
