Marta brake problem

[Tortuga]

My Magura Marta's need to be pumped up constantly. If I don't, the levers just come too close to the bar before engaging. Also, levers seem to be sluggish and slow to return after engaging. Is this a sign that there is air in the system? Need more fluid?
???

BTW: I still love these brakes

Bleed

I've never owned Magura's before but it sure sounds like they need to be bled. I would check around all the fittings to be sure there's not a leak.

Good luck

Definately sounds like you've got air in there, or possibly a bad master cylinder if you bleed them and still have the problem.

I've read that some martas have a leaking problem . . .
