Perhaps it needs a proper bleed. Air in the system is the most likely cause.

I swear by the Gunson Eeze bleed. It works off tyre pressure and less than £20. Make sure you use the correct bleed sequence. Fn/s Fo/s Rn/s then Ro/s

if it got air into the modulator then only power bleed with tester will do a perfect job imo

^^^ Sounds like you need a nanocom or similar plugged in and brake bleeding procedure followed. It's the only way to do it properly if air is in the system.
