Without knowing your symtoms,I'd bleed brakes right away,and start looking for leaks.Check everything. Rotors too.
Here is why:
BRAKE SYSTEM
Brake lever/pedal soft or spongy
---Air bubbles in the hydraulic system
---Leaking hydraulic system
---Contaminated brake pad/disc
---Worn caliper piston seal
---Worn master cylinder piston cups
---Worn brake pad/disc
---Contaminated caliper
---Caliper not sliding properly
---Low brake fluid level
---Clogged fluid passage
---Warped/deformed brake disc
---Sticking/worn caliper piston
---Sticking/worn master cylinder piston
---Contaminated master cylinder
---Bent brake lever/pedal
Brake lever/pedal hard
---Clogged/restricted brake system
---Sticking/worn caliper piston
---Caliper not sliding properly
---Clogged/restricted fluid passage
---Worn caliper piston seal
---Sticking/worn master cylinder piston
---Bent brake lever/pedal
Brake drag
---Contaminated brake pad/disc
---Mis-aligned wheel
---Badly worn brake pad/disc
---Warped/deformed brake disc
---Caliper not sliding properly
---Clogged/restricted fluid passage
---Sticking/worn caliper piston
