Hello fellow St-Owners,
I have been enjoying my 1997 1100 ABS for 7 months now aside from experiencing the dreaded rear brake piston seizure on a trip from Los Angeles to Oregon. Luckily, I was able to release the pressure through the brake line and drive without touching the brakes until reaching a shop for servicing in Redding, Oregon. However just recently I have experienced the front brake catching the disc, or pinching as I roll backwards in the garage. Every four inches I rolled backwards the front brake would grab for a second causing a jerking and clacking sound upon contact with the rotor. This boggles me due to never experiencing this before and the fact that it stops when I roll forward. The pads seemed to have about 30 percent left last time I checked a couple months ago.
Any ideas or insight would be great. Thank you!
