A very belated welcome to the forum then Pop over to the tech section for help, I`m sure you will find it! BTW what year is your bike, an fx says nothing to me, it is referred here as an f 1,2,3,4 or f4i dependin on the year.

Welcome Marky, what's the front brake doing (or maybe not doing?)?

The front brake has lost most of its feel and almost pulls back to the bars ive bleed it and put new pads in didnt make any difference. Also get pulsing through the lever. I was going to try a master cylinder repair kit this week.

Welcome to CBRF! Sorry you're having brake issues. That's no fun, but it's pretty easy to remedy them. It's one of the most simple systems on the bike.
