In the last few months there have been several contributions by members who reported that their dealers had done some improvements on their brakes, such as dismantling the calipers and replacing seals, or cleaning and greasing pistons etc. Several reported initial improvements....

Could we have some updates from these guys as to whether the improvements that they reported have been long lasting or only temporary.

I want to improve my brakes as the lever has started to come back to the bars.....it was good for the first 4-5000k but lately I am starting to crush my fingers when braking (I use two fingers to brake). It would be good to know what works.......

Do not disassemble anything and push the pads/pistons in with pliers etc. Then pump back out. Works for a while at least while waiting for the permanent solution.. Takes one minute.
