Front Brakes Locked up after Recall

[Wing'n it]

There is also a vent in the resorvior for over flow to escape in these type situations. However I have never heard of this happening.

Your right there is a vent, however it is on top of the bellows to allow air to flow in and out. Brake fluid is hydroscopic which means it will absorb moisture right out of the air ruining the brake fluid. The "vented" air can not get in and fluid can not get out past the bellows.

A lot of good information. Thank you. My concern is why now? Only rode a short distance that morning. Not sure how fast brake fluid heats up and expands. Again thank you.

Ambient temp may have been higher. If you were riding slow you won't get the cooling effect of the air movement at higher speeds. Or just lucky.

Purchased at Seminole. Recall performed at RC Hill in DeLand. I'll call him. Thanks.

had a very similar experience with a vfr that has the same linked brake system that the 6 has. Too much fluid and a rebleed of the entire system was the solution.
