So, brake lever removed, pivot cleaned and greased, reassembled... PROBLEM GONE!!
Many thanks all.
The apparent increased travel is confusing, must have imagined it.
To answer a few questions anyway...
No, I'm not heavy on the brakes at all, I use too much engine braking if anything.
Brake fluid - not changed in the 15 months I've had it, who knows before that!
Think the discs are original and have done 16k miles, look okay.
Not braided hoses.
Just need to get around to sorting the rear brake now, probably a rebuild :\
