I too have a 1998 900 SET and all I can say is - You think the brakes are soft in normal driving? Try heating them up on a racetrack, the pedal becomes a big soft marshmallow impersonating a brake pedal...disappointing and dangerous!
I have installed Abbott slotted rotors, KVR kevlar/comp pads, and Valvoline synth DOT4 fluid with a fresh bleed. The same products and setup on my SPG produces a hard pedal and no fading...in other words, I don't think the fluid is boiling and I know that the pads aren't overheating.
My best guess is an air pocket in the ABS pump that does not get flushed with normal bleeding. Is there a procedure for triggering the ABS to operate and purge itself? If nothing else turns up, maybe I'll do the master cylinder just to see.
I will certainly post again if I find a solution. D
