The pedal pressure is HIGH because the diameter of the bore in the MC (for the FRONT discs) is too large. This is why it's a great reason to NOT use a "non-power brake" MC with disc brakes. Remember....the SMALLER the bore in the MC, the less foot pressure is required to apply the brakes, although the stroke required will increase somewhat. DD
