Hello!
Recently i notice that my front brake doesn't feels like it did before. I can almost pull the whole lever to the handlebar and I have a play before i feel that the brake applies. It's like the piston travel for like 5mm before i can feel brake power. Shouldn't it just be to lay a finger over the brake to feel difference?
Any suggestion how i can solve this? I have tried many times to bleed the front brake without any noticeably difference.
Thank in advance.

Could you please explain why you think it's the brake cable? I just wan't to understand what could be wrong.

New pads since one hour back, did bleed the brake along with the installation. Could you explain why you think it's the brake line?
I would try flushing the fluid again as it sounds like there still might be some air trapped in there. It's not going to be the line unless there's a crack in it, but highly doubtful. You'd have to have some serious hours on that 2014 to even consider the line wearing out enough to pull your lever to the bar. You also might want to think about servicing the caliper. New set of seals on those pistons just might be the fix. If they were filthy when you pressed the pistons in for the new pads you might have gotten some debris in there or possibly air.
