For some reason, I feel V2 lacks braking. When I press the front brakes I don't feel the bite. But If I press the front brakes consecutively two times quickly, it gives the bite .
Air in the lines or sticky pads can cause the first pull to feel soft and the second pull to be tight. Many people forget to check and clean the pads. If they get stuck away from the disk then the first pull is soft. Scotch bright on the pins can help sometimes (or just clean them really well). It is worth a look.
