Took apart the caliper and it was clean as a whistle. I just regreased the right slide since it was a little dry. The pistons moved smoothly and had no tarnish. I took off the stainless line, reconnected the stock line, and flushed it twice. Now the brake pressure is where it was before, which wasn't great but better than with the stainless line. With the Galfer, the pads grabbed at the grip. With the stock line, it grabs at a little more than half pull, which is awful BTW. But, I can work with it.

Thinking back, both of the 250s I had had horrible braking pressure. I got around it by using aftermarket levers and extending the out as far as possible.

I'm going to order a caliper rebuild kit and a master cylinder rebuild kit. Hopefully they will fix whatever the issue is. I would love to just change MC, but my race org doesn't allow it, yet...
