    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Rear brake Problem

Well after riding it alittle today(20min) the rear caliper started to grab and not release(bike could still roll, but with resistance), Well I released them by releasing the presure at the caliper bleader, so i thought it was a bad brake line, but i got it to stick again and i was able to release the pressure by loosing the brake line at the master cylinder, so it seems to me like it might not be the brake line, can anyone tell me if it is the master or the line?

thanks
Lennie
 
are you sure there is no rust on the springs and rods? I had to sand mine a bit to get them to release smoothly
 
I would take the master cyl apart and clean it Fluid return could be blocked allowing the brake to drag
 
I fixed my problem from what I read in another brake post,
The rear brake lever adjustment bolt and the nut was gone, so it kept going down and tighting up my rear brakes so they were hard and binding.
Once i loosened it up my brakes went free.

Thanks
Lennie
