ST 1300 - Rear break can only be released with the bleeder nut.
The dealer is currently trying to figure out why the rear brake is not releasing (at all). The first time I brake with the rear brake pedal it breaks normally to stop. Then the problem, it won't release. The only way is to loosen up on the air bleeding screw on the rear caliper. Then everything goes back to normal. ( out of the two bleeding screws it is the most rear one where the pressure in the brake hose won't release). The dealer has replaced the valve on the front fork. Replaced the brake fluid and made sure everything is checked, but still it doesn't work. Now they are lost and have contacted the Honda distributor to Norway to seek technical assistance. Currently the bike has been with the dealer for two weeks and still no progress.
Forgot to tell that the problem started on a shorter trip, and after breaking down normally it was stock. No earlier indications of any problems.
