Long time since I've had a bike with a single pot calliper should you be able to pull the lever virtually right to the grip?Recently stripped the calliper cleaned it up put in new seal and new washers on the banjos and bled it through dosnt seem to be any air in the system but the lever seems to pull in a long way?
Rubber brake hoses SHOULD be changed every 3 years for safety reasons, a lot of people wait until they start to crack with age or fail the M.O.T. for it, They are cheap to replace, and make an incredible difference to the braking, which is never a bad thing on a bike!
