I also have a 00 RS I almost never ride (odometer reading 3600). As the weather is about to become really nice, I got on it the other day, and as you said, the brakes felt a little mushy. I played around with the adjuster on the brake lever and gave it some good pumps etc. That seemed to help. Still my guess is that the brake fluid is getting old as it is probably the original stuff that came with the bike. I'm going to bleed the brakes this weekend and see where that goes. The maintenance manual says replace brake fluid once a year…
I know that this is not a finite answer but… better than nothing.
Oh I also think that a lot of the break issues on this site are about the new 05-06 STs.
