Default Problems with soft front brake on GPZ500s

I have recently bought a GPZ500S 1994. The front brake works, but when I pull it on it will come all the way back to the twistgrip quite easily. I have bled the brake several times and put loads of fluid through it but cannot get a hard to pull front break. I am concerned for obvious reasons.
Has anyone else had experience of this type of problem with the GPZ500s??


Help please !!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried changing the brake lines? I hear that the braided steel ones will completely change the braking power.
