| Seized rear brake on 03, 749.
At the end of May the rear brake seized at speed and blew the nipple. Brake was not being used at the time and there is plenty of play on the pedal. Under guarantee, so the dealer changed the disc & calliper & fitted new seals in the master cylinder. Has been fine since, till last Sunday when at 30 to 40 mph seized again. Left for 10 minutes and it freed up completely.
The master cylinder is very close to the front exhaust pipe but the bike runs at normal temperature and the rear brake hardly gets used. It’s going back to the dealer today (now out of guarantee) but has anybody any ideas why or had this happen to them? |
