Hi
I have recently changed my bars to the K100 ones. I was about to take it for my first test run and felt that it wasn't free wheeling as easy as expected- I was struggling to push it backwards out of the garage.
I have lifted the front end and noted that the front wheel was binding / rubbing on the brakes. I eased the pad of the discs and the wheel freely rotated. As soon as I squeezed the brake lever the wheel locked up and would not release when I released the lever.
I have tried bleeding a bit of fluid out of the callipers and I end up with the same result. My first thought is master cylinder, but I cannot see why it would have failed as I did not spilt/ brake into the system- I merely rerouted the hose and lever.
As I have changd the bars- is there a set angle that the master cylinder should be set at? (I not from the manual it just says align with mark on bars) I will probably remove the callipers and flush the fluid at the weekend, but any ideas or suggestions in advance of this would be greatly appreciated.
