The back brake was fine when it cooled down no idea why it happened the handle bars came loose twice aswellSeized back brake and suspected broken ribs
s previous owner never loctited the bolts that go into the top yoke.
Make's a change to hear of a KTM Breaking Down
Hope your OK Forry
I'll survive got wiped out by another lad on a trail I ended up jammed between the front wheel and engine of his bike he was under the back wheel with it spinning on his back.
I just glad I had body armour on or I'd definately be in a worse condition

You might find the seals in the calliper are past their best.
They appear to be fine, and allow the piston to move out when you push the brake pedal, but they won't allow the piston to retract after you take the pressure off.
I'm not quite sure what happens, weather the seals get old and hard, and maybe shrink a bit?, but the result is the pistons won't move back. I had a similar problem with a front calliper on my first bike, and that was a brembo to.
I think ktm to supply replacement seals for them, so you won't have to buy a complete calliper (unlike husqvarna
).

I was having a brisk ride back to the van on some back roads don't think I was covering the brake,thought I'd fekked the motor to start with then I noticed the smoking rear caliper the brake pedal was also solid
It was fine when it cooled down.
I'll take it apart and have a look
