I bought a pre-bled front disc kit and fitted it, ive not had chance to ride yet but the lever seems to have gone really spongy over a few days?

Any idea's why this would be and what i could do to remedy it?

I had the same problem with my slx brakes,bought a shimano bleed kit from CRC at same time,quick bleed and top up the fluid,sorted! Guess they just had a bit of air in.
