Hi Guys,
This is my first request for help so please be gentle with me!
I have a 2002 R1150GS Adventure with ABS, but no servo thankfully. I recently experienced a pulsing sensation when applying the front brake and then last week the calipers stuck on, not a pleasant experience on the M1 motorway. Manage to free them off at the roadside and ride home using the back brake only.
Removed the calipers off the discs and although not clogged up with gunge a couple of the pistons were very stiff to move and required considerable effort to free them up. I ordered and fitted two caliper repair kits for the front calipers, bled the brakes and although the caliperss are not sticking as much as previously there is still too much resistance when moving the front wheel by hand. ABS works ok with no warning lights showing, master cylinder, pads and discs are serviceable. Braking performance is excellent!! The brake calipers have been stripped and cleaned on a regular basis and I am at a loss as to the cause of this problem.
Is there anything else I should be looking at before venturing to a dealer?
