Justhorsenround, I backed the pushrod up 1/4” and went for a drive. About lap 3 around the block I began to panic because I sure I was gonna have to eat humble pie. But by lap 6 I began to feel the drag again. You had me sweating big time. The push rod is sloppy loose and the brakes are tight as a tick right now. So I’m back to looking at a problem with either the MC or something in the front lines that restricts return flow to the MC. I even ran the engine at idle in the driveway until it got hot under the hood. The exhaust downpipe was 250* but the brake hard lines were 150* at the level of the frame where they are closest to the downpipe. I pumped the pedal repeatedly but could not get it to tighten up like it does when driving.
