Brake Issue with 06 Z400
Looking to see if someone can guide me in the right direction to save some time. I have an 06 Z400. The front brakes were just replaced with new pads but the problem was like this before and after the new pads. When I hit the front brakes my front left tire stops but my front right does not. If I put the z400 on a jack and spin the tire and hit the brakes both tires stop but it seems like the front right just doesn't have enough stopping power. I checked for air in the brake line and its fine. Im not low on brake fluid and doesn't seem to be clogged when I bleed it brake fluid comes right out. Its like the brake just isn't working at full power. I see the brake line just t's off so im assuming the issue in the caliper? I do hear a slight clicking noise coming from the caliper on the right side when I release the brake. I put some grease on the bolts that hold the pads on both sides when I put new pads on. Just wondering if someone can give me a head start of what may be going on.

When you bleed them, the caliper furthest from the reservoir needs to be done first. If you bled the right first, then the left, air may have gotten back in the line and you need to start over. Other things to check are that both rotors are not warped, and that the tires are identical including wear and air pressure.
