I tend to agree w/ this. I'll stand the bike up on the rear wheel, bounce it on the tire and pump the lever. This will generally cause the lever to go soft if there is air in the system. It's nearly always confirmed by removing the bleed screw and not seeing any fluid. The reservoir should be FULL.
