I got the same prblem on both my 97 Sprint-sports 900 and my 2003 S4.

IMHO I reckon this is about the elasticity of the operating piston seals.

The seals distort as the pistons are pushed out and act as rubber springs, retracting the piston. I think Triumph get the seal spec wrong so they pull the pistons back too far giving you wasted travel.

What do you all think??
