250-500cc Making the front brakes "touchy"

Hey guys, have an 09 wr 300. Love it but one thing i do miss about my ktm was how touchy and strong the brakes where. I got the quality motul 4.0 and expensive pads in it. I flush the oil every couple months. Yet i cant quite get the front brakes strong enough for my liking. The rears are just fine. I ride with one finger over front brake all the time. The mtn single track i ride probably makes my front rotors glow red.

Theres all kinds of aftermkt rotors and brake upgrades on ebay but didnt want to spend a ton of money for a little gain. Or do they make a huge difference over stock? Open for suggestions thanks.

My 09 has awesome brakes, very touchy. Possible air?

Part of the problem is I am a former powerlifter and weigh 275. My old ktm was awesome though.

I thought so too and bled them like over and over again, they are pretty good but not nearly as good as my ktm(at least that's how I feel anyway)

Might be that the KTM master cylinder has a bigger bore and maybe you could swap in one them on the Husky perhaps??

Kinda' surprising...... My 09 wr250 front brake is considerably stronger than my 07 KTM 200 brake !

They are normally VERY grabby. You have the same components as you did with the KTM.

Put the bike on the side stand and turn the bars to the left. Pull the lever in and zip ty it to the bars. Let it set that way for 24+ hours. Remove the ty and start "Flicking" the lever at the end. If you remove the cover you should see tiny bubbles coming from the line. Sometimes this can take a while before all the bubbles stop. If it's bad and you see a lot of bubbles for a long time I recommend that you repeat the process.

When I got my 2009 wr 250 second hand I noticed that the front brake was the same as my 2006 ktm xc 300. I flushed the by reverse bleeding it and it works awesome.

Are all the caliper pistons moving equally?.......if the bikes been power washed dirt can get stuck in the caliper seals
