JC, the lever travel SHOULD not change but in this particular bike it does. So it does with every bike with the same calibers aka 675 and Honda SP-2. One minute fix without unbolting anything is to push the caliber pistons in with pliers and pump them back out. This will fix it for a week or two but you eventually have to do it again.

The issue has nothing to do with master cylinder although a larger diameter one will mask the problem with some tradeoff in brake power. Nor it has nothing to do with air in the brakes.
