front brake leaver pulling right in to bar grip ,no front brake? (resevoir is full up tp mark)

bled right hand side? no resistance.

bled left hand side , same no resistance,

no fluid leaks any where,

it appears that the brake master piston is stuck into the fully depressed possition , but i thought this would have jammed the front brake on?

it hasn't though.

has this happed to anyone , and should a seal kit cure this, cheers chaps.

Hi Upurs

The symptoms sound like a problem I had with a car master cylinder, the piston return spring had been rubbing on the side of the cylinder bore and the spring had collapsed the brake pedal was returning back up because of the return spring on the pedal box assy but the piston was staying put and not returning fully. the brakes were not jamming on because the down stream fluid pressure was enough to just hold back the piston.

could be your bike has the same problem

I'd get a overhaul kit or a known good M/C.

which ever way, strip it down first

As per drewpys answer.

The weather (heat) can mess with the master cylinder seals if they are on their way out. Had it once on a car in baking weather. No brakes. Not good kev.

before that,? got a phone call from the wifes brother, her mum wasn't answering the door to go shopping with him,and the curtains were shut, when we got there and went in with our spare key, there she was,? all dead, in bed.

oh boy it hurts like feck. i don't know what hurts the most, not having a spare mum ? not having a car? not having a bike?the dog chomping my finger ? or not having a fuckin flag :shakeno:
