I have a 07 GSXR-1000 and I replaced the brake lines and the brakes are still spongy? What can I do to stop it from doing that. The brakes feels tight for a couple of days after i get it back but then i go to ride it and I can squeez the brake back to the grip. What do I need to do?

after you repalce or upgrade your brake lines and you ride for about 50 or so miles, recheck that the nuts are still tight and bleeding them again wouldn't hurt.
