I have a ‘16 as well and I’ve noticed that double pump difference actually today.
I’ve been overseas for 9 days and upon return I picked up the bike at the airport’s lot, the lever went down almost touching the grip, second pump was almost normal, maybe half way and third one was normal.
This tells me that this may be normal operation if it’s happening to other bikes, especially with the indirect ABS box. As per my mechanic, brakes with ABS will feel not as sharp but more “progressive” as you squeeze.
I remember my 2010’s brakes were way more responsive than these fancy-pants system. I guess it’s all about having ABS nowadays.
I just ordered a racing-grade brembo fluid with hardness higher than 5.1 fluids and brembo brake pads also racing grade which operate at cold temps too. I still have some of the old pads left to wear so I’ll report when I replace those parts.
There’s not really much more you can do since you bled the system assuming that the fluid you’ve used was from a new, sealed bottle that’s is.
