First I've had the bike for two years and don't know when the brake fluid has been changed (so easily two plus years)
Here are the symptoms,
At night in 55deg temperature, front brakes operate fine.
During the day at 80deg temperature, front brakes clamp up rotors, bike will move, so its not completely seized.
Popped the master cylinder reservoir and noticed water on the other side of diaphragm. Even when brakes drag, the front brake handle still operates properly.
My theory... the brake fluid is so old and combined with water that during the day, the water steams up creating air pressure and clamping down on the brakes.
Should I just get the brake fluid flushed or should the master cylinder be rebuilt?
Your thoughts? Thanks.
