over tightening of the rez cap, this can cause a vacuum.

too much RRG when assembling the piston and seals. this can actually cause stiction.

resting your toes on the brake lever. this is very common and people dont know they are doing it. solution is to move your toes outwards while riding, or put your toes on the pegs. another is to move the lever down further by adjusting the MC rod.
