Hi,

The front brake lever on my 1999 SV650 is really hard to squeeze and doesn't have any 'feel', it barely moves, however it still seems to stop the bike well.

It does have braided lines, and uprated pads, so was wondering if this was normal or if it means there's a problem somewhere - does it sound like the caliper could be sticking?

Also, I was wondering if GSXR SRAD calipers can be fitted as a direct replacement (as I'm sure I have a couple knocking about!)

Thanks,
David.
