So, I'm a new owner here with a '25 MX 1.2 which I'll use for track and trail same as I do my KTM 300. Still trying to get used to the nuances of this machine and the LHRB is a big one. In fact, I feel like I can squeeze this sucker through the bars and the rear tire doesn't even always lock up. I'm kinda shocked as this uses Brembo just like my KTM and on that bike man my brakes are strong. Just got me wondering if this is a common issue with these and if it's a MC thing or a brake pad thing, maybe air trapped in system?
I am sorry ahead of time if this has been talked about to death already
 
I can easily lock up the back tire with the handbrake.
Try pumping it up and see if then it will lock up the rear tire. That will tell you if there’s air in the system. So if you can pump the brake lever, and then it won’t come as close to the handlebar, you do have air in the system.
If that’s the case, the best way to bleed is with a syringe, pushing the fluid from the caliper up to the master cylinder. The air wants to rise, so trying to push the air downward doesn’t work so well.
