Finally got around to checking the brakes today and I found that I can screw the adjuster almost all the way in before the fluid can’t getback to the pot. So I’ve backed it off from this point and the lever feels much better.
I’m putting it down to the after market levers.

I put cast iron discs on my 916 and they were great. Not as great as the standard brakes on the 999, but definitely better than the original rotors.
