When I changed my front pads, I loosened the reservoir cover to ease pushing calipers back in. When I tightened up the cover, I had no brakes at all(lever puller right to throttle, no pad movement). Then I loosened up the cover again and squeezed the lever and it worked fine. Tightened up the cover again and still works. I don't think I need to bleed as I didn't loosen any nuts or take off any lines. Should this be ok?
 
Yes, it should be fine. When you push the pistons on the calipers in, it takes a couple squeezes on the brake lever to extend the pistons out far enough to let the pads contact the rotors.
 
Hmmm, I squeezed like 10 time with nothing, it only started working after I took the res cap off....seems to work fine now, guess I'll go really slow down the driveway. :)
