Motorcycle front calipers locking up.

[SharpByCoop]

1. The makeshift pedal/handle thing: Not a bad idea, but if there is not full return on the lever pedal (actually on the piston plunger in the m/cyl), for whatever reason, the bleed port in the master cylinder will not be exposed to allow extra pressure (without depression) to return to the reservoir. All it takes is an a couple of millimeters of piston travel to block that off. ALL japanese M-cyls have this port.

It's modified. I'd be looking at that first. That couple of millimeters may also be slowly pressurizing the caliper. p

Forks, wheel, and brakes are stock 78 Honda Super Sport CB750 with minor modifications.

Ran great with no fluid. Finally got ahold of Genius Wrench last night. Fixed the directional switch and removed the brake lever/pedal thing and ground off a bit of metal where it comes in contact with the plunger. Rode it for an hour afterwards with no issues whatsoever, and hopefully it is now fixed.

Where do I pick up my commission... :thumbup:

Bottom line is: You're safe.

It appears as if you were right, but when Genius Wrench heard I was still having problems he called a specialist in Jap bikes who told him to try that. Thanks for yer help. :thumbup:
