The REAR brakes tend to fade away whilst driving for a distance as if they loose compression. all fluid levels have been checked.
It may be time to replace the brake fluid - there may be water in it which can be absorbed from the air. Also, be sure to bleed any air out of the system.

Rene - the manual recommends having the break system checked immediately if the reservoir drops below MIN. It has happened to me once were the warning light was staying on and after carefully riding it down the street in my subdivision the warning light went away.
However if it does not go out after the self diagnostic - there is a possibility the ABS is not functioning and you are only left with a RESIDUAL BRAKING FUNCTION which helps slow the bike but not safe for riding. I would take it to the dealer if the warning stays on and for safety sake -- have it towed.

If you were unwise enough to think that draining brake fluid from your front brake was anywhere near to a sensible solution to a braking problem, please take your bike to the nearest repair centre and get it fixed properly before you kill yourself or someone else, or both.
That has to be the most bone-headed solution to a braking problem I have ever heard.
YOU CANNOT HAVE TOO MUCH BRAKE FLUID - BUT NOW YOU HAVE TOO LITTLE!

yes new fluid and proper bleeding will make the brake feel normal, the sponge feeling is air in the brake system compressing

Hi Russ:
There is some adjustment at the threaded rod between the rear master cylinder and the brake pedal. Kinda hard to describe, but you loosen the locking nut and turn the rod a few turns to make it longer and raising the pedal...... BUT the brake switch is separate and too much adjustment will cause the ABS modulator pump to run... not a good thing. Basically, brake pedal height is non adjustable.... just have to get used to it.
Yes, the ABS pump runs whenever the brakes are applied. Your '04 1150GSA has the power assisted ABS brakes.
Testimonial: "Thank you for responding so quickly. I will make the suggested adjustments. By the way, your description is very clear to me. Excellent! God bless."
