having prollems with my f4i front brakes
im running a radial master from a 06 636, and the stock brake lines for a 636 as well, on my 02 f4i. I bled the system starting at the top working down, using a vac bleeder. Im not sure if the problem is with the calipers, the bleeders, lines, or master; but i have never been able to get any thing resembling good feel on the front of the bike. I have to pump the hell out of it everytime just to stop. There is NO air in the system...
brake pads are new. It always has little or no lever the first couple of pumps then gradually builds, the more i pump it. I have no problem with my hb, and i have a 636 master on it too, and it has the same bleeding method, and locks with one finger pull. Some one help!! 
Also if someone has some rotors for an 02 f4i, hit me up..

Re: having prollems with my f4i front brakes
I had that same probablem wix a gix radial on my front brakes. Blead the **** out of it and the lever would pull all the way to the handlebar(It would stop the bike,but not enoug for stopies). Then I swapped the aftermarket lever I had with a stock nissian , and immediatly the lever was solid as a rock. If you already have a stock lever,when you bleed it go top-botton ,then back to the top
