I flushed all the fluid in my hawk and it helped some but it was not until I hit my rotors with a sanding block and 800 grit sand paper then I pulled the pads and scuffed them up too on a flat surface. It made a big difference. I rode pretty easy on the brakes for 100 miles then when I clamped down they grabbed real good.
I do not know why but the rotors were glazed up. I bought my bike used though.
Note: I am not a mechanic and this may not be the right thing to do. It worked for me though.
Oh +1 for the pun
