Have you refreshed the fluid, or just tried bleeding?

Have you checked the pads?

Cleaned the calipers?

Still the OEM master cylinder?

Start by pulling calipers and clean pistons before you try to push them back, the o rings are probably sticking. Use break cleaner, you might push pistons out a pump w the lever. Then retract pistons, bother sides, resinstall pads after a quick scuff w sandpaper, then get old fluid out of resivor, wipe clean, n start bleeding, if there is a master bleed port use it last. If ur rotors are glazed, good time to scuff the up too, brake clean helps there too.

Yeah it's still the OEM MC, and the old brake fluid is out. Now I have to try and clean the o rings there in the calipers 'because I didn't do that'.
Will let u know once all is solved.

Hello u guys, it's been a tiring 😫 week for me with my bike not braking in the front. But lucky enough I've managed to sort it out myself 'stubborn brains 🧠 ', I finally took yo advice to clean the calipers thoroughly.
Now they work like new.
Thanx again ppl. Stay blessed 🙌🏽
