Lack of brake dust on left side

[bertb]

I've read posts re: spongy brakes. While wipeing the front calipers and rotors this morning I noticed that there was hardly any brake dust on the left side. Braking seems fine but the lever does feel a little spongy. Anyone else notice the same thing?

You didn't mention if you bled them. Mine were spongy and while having an oil change at Champions in Bellingham, WA, the owner bled the brakes. Huge difference. It is something I would have done myself but he did it without me asking after he took it for a test ride. I'm going to do it now about every 5k miles.

Had the same problem. spongy brake. They bled them, no difference. As it turns out they decided to clean the brakes as it had built up a lot of debris & dust and after that, VOILA! worked great. Mechanic said he sees this alot, gotta keep them clean (and also change your brakes when they are due!) good luck.
