• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Soft brake pedal on 2023 Ryker 600 with 1,000km - is this normal?

Had my '23 600 for a month or so, and I have put on a little over 1,000km since I got it new in the Spring. Mostly city driving, I have an 8km commute.

The past few rides, I have noticed the brake pedal feels soft. The bike still stops as it did before, but I have to put the pedal all the way down, and I was not able to lock them up when I tried yesterday.

Is this normal after the initial break in period? There's no fluid loss in the reservoir, and no noticeable leaks on any of the callipers.

The only change to the bike since new was that I had to add air to all three tires 3 weeks ago. They were down to 15 in the front and 20 in the rear, I now have them back to 25 front and 28 rear.

I'm thinking of bleeding the brakes next weekend, to make sure there is not some air in the lines.
 
No, it shouldn't do that. Likely there's air in the line, so bleeding should fix it; at worst, it'll be moisture/condensation in the fluid, which will mean new fluid. I wouldn't ride it until you've sorted it.
