    sounds u need to bleed the air out of your brakes, just either get a bike shop to do it for you if your unsure as u could make it worse if your not sure of what your doing, or, undo rasivuar cap (on bars)

    pump brake lever till you get some pressure, then hold the pressure on, thile loosening the bleed nipple on the caliper, you should notice brake fluid coming out, and before you squeese the lever right back to handle, close the bleed nipple so you stil have pressure in system and dont suck air back in.. . make sure! you top up resivuar with dot 4 brake fluid, and the level never drops very low..

    repeat the above several times until brakes are okay, and should be okay,

    they can be made worse if your unsure and riding without front brake is very dangerous, as my mate found out,

    and Didn't live to regret it..
