You may be having the problem I had with my SV1000

Mine was front brakes but applies to rear too

Basically after applying pressure my pads would push to the disc but then retract too far leaving the lever feeling spongy

Solution is simple though, to find out if this is your problem release the caliper and wiggle it and see how tight your pads rest to the disc, if it's really loose you have this problem

Fix is simple, pull calliper away from disc and apply light pressure and make the pads close slightly so that when you put the caliper back on the disc there is slight friction

This solves the problem and gives you your feel back

Don't do this too much though or brakes will drag, lift the wheel and test it still rotates freely after doing this

Did this on front and rear brakes and never had such nice firm brakes (but then again I do use carbon lorraine pads and have a radial gsxr master on front)
