Depends on the rider. Some riders like 1 finger brakes and some like spongey. My front brake was rubbing and I didn't even know until I did a wheelie past the finish line and the frot tire stopped rotating. One racer showed me how the put a bit of air in the line and the rubbing stopped. During the off season I rebuilt the entire system and no issues so far.

Isn't putting air in the line the opposite of what you would want? What's the purpose?

Sometime when I bleed my brakes to dam good the brakes drag on the disk. I just hold the lever down and open the bottom screw. Then let it go to suck a bit of air in and that fixes it right up.

@figgyducati what will bleeding air into the line do? So how do I know which to turn the screws? (Assuming I find them)

Where the lever meets the piston there is adjustment there usually.

Just bleed a bit of air into the line. You'll barely tell the diff.
