Question for the experienced please...
I've had my 1150rt since December 19 and have covered approx 2500 miles... I used to sell them in the early 2000s and rode them quite a bit then... This isn't a Q regarding servoectomys or the merits of the the brakes but one for folk used to the brakes...
I know the servo can fail etc but I have had another prob... Once near the start of ownership n twice last week the front brakes temporarily binded a caliper... Riding along normally not using the brakes and I feel the front brake binding until I stop to check... One caliper tight on the disc enough to blue the surface... 30 second later, some swearing and using brake to listen to servo and hey presto, it as released... Off we go again... Like I said... 3 times in 3 months and brakes were cleaned and checked over Christmas hol...
Is this a sevo relating issue of perhaps a brake bleed one...? Don't think it's a caliper issue as I have checked this and binding calipers don't usually release like that... Apart from that and the several other issues regarding the 1150s... Rattily tractors etc I like the bike and don't want a multicoloured LCD pcp fodder version...
Thanks in advance...
