    I only have about 700 miles on my '08 TE-510. Last week, I noticed when I pull the front brake lever and hold it, the lever sometimes creeps back towards the bar. I can pump it once or twice and it seems to hold but occasionaly it starts to creep again. Do I need to just bleed the system or is it a master cylinder piston/o-ring problem? If so, where can I get parts for the master cylinder?

    Thanks

    Needs bleeding. Try removing wheel, remove brake res cap. With tire iron spread the brake pads. Watch to see if bubbles appear in the res, pump the brake up with lever between the pads and do this several times. Some times it helps to remove the caliper when doing this as a bubble can be trapped inside the caliper piston so the rotation of it will allow the bubble to dislodge from inside the piston.
