Simon46 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 1230 left london. Got home 1945. Enjoyed but salt on outside of visor and ice on inside and frozen adams apple. Got respect from fellow bikers in my local. Told the missus i was having it transported back. Not happy when i arrived home. Oh well. S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Airhead Posted January 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 21, 2015 The rear caliper has a fixed half and a floating half (one piston) I think....chances are the floating half has seized on its sliding pins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Whitch is an easy clean,, give the pins an emry & light grease , they"l be little rubber boots, take care not to tear them,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
