Does anyone know how to adjust the pedal travel on your brakes?

Other than bleeding the brakes, there is no "adjustment"

What is the problem with them?

more help... read on...

Thanks Steve, my ABS control unit needs replacing, but until I can find a used one my brake pedal simply has too much travel in it. How could bleeding the brakes help this situation?

The most common cause of long pedal travel is air in the system. You bleed the brakes to remove it.

Why do my brakes feel soft on the first application but much firmer on the second?
