Front brakes

When I'm riding my front brakes always need to be pumped before they work. When I pump them they work awsome and the quad stops on a dime. If I don't pump them, I don't stop. I can see a line in the little ressy but it's above the "lower" mark but not much. When I pump the brakes I can see little bubbles come up on top through the window. Is it low on brake fluid or what?

Thanks fellas

Mine was doing the same for awhile. Added more fluid and bled them and no problems afterwards. The rear was the same way and I did the same too.

Sounds to me like they need a good bleeding, like a bloody nose :hammer:

a warped rotor can also cause this.
