I don't think anything is cracked or leaking that was the first things that i checked
Bent disk, didn't think of that i had this nightmare of air in the system (i hate bleeding brakes) i have a look at that when i get home.
Now if it is that whats better standard disk or upgrade to wavey disks or something else suggestions?

p.s i love this forum

Unless your disc is warped/bent, you DO have air in the lines (or a leak). If you dropped your bike previous to the crash, this may have created the problem.

To check disks, put bike on paddock stand and hold a screwdriver on the edge of the disk, sort of 90 degrees away from it.

As you spin the wheel you should feel/see it move.

BUT..

it's got to be REALLY bent to move them that much... and If you didn't already notice this when riding, i'd be shocked...


Although i am struggling to think of anything else it could be as this is the only thing that makes any sense at all.
