The pistons are clean, I�m going to try new pads, because it�s the less expensive.

Ernesto, which oem MC have you used? OEM from Tenere or from XTX? It is a big difference.
I read a lot about brakes last couple months but I would still go to some good moto shop and ask them for advice because they know best what should be better for your setup and it is mostly cheaper then trying different things.
For example I have complete motomaster setup on the front but I still kind of feel that there might be some air in system because first 1cm of lever travel makes nothing. I tried bleeding it many times. Brake has got enough power - I can lock front wheel on tarmac in about 60km/h speed with full power at lever but still I think it could be better. Motomaster MC is 11mm so maybe I need 12mm or that OEM 12,7mm from XTX.
