Default Loosing rear brake pressure

I have chrome calipers on my 06 cbr 1000 and I keep loosing brake pressure. I've taken it to the dealer twice and each time they just bleed them and it seems to be fine but after about a week I can feel the pressure dropping.Is is because of the chrome calipers? Thanks

if you do wheelies, it is from tipping the bike up and the air in the master cylinder gets in the lins. if not then i dont know.

Must be an air leak. Common source of air leak is around the threads of the bleed valve. Put a Mity vac on it and you will know by watching the pressure gauge. Then you can hunt it down.
