Front Wheel FROZE

Blow compressed air into the banjo fitting (inlet port). Be sure to put a rag on the piston first though or it will shoot out and hit the floor. After you get it out, clean all the jelly gunk off and check for pitts on the piston. Pitts = junk since they will cause the seal to leak.

Good luck.

If it's like the 1100's, there 2 pins that the calipers slide on. they can be removed, cleaned up, & relubed very easily. They are the 2 bolts, that aren't the mounting bolts, on the outside of the caliper, I think 13mm. Mine started not releasing, on the way home one day, when I got them out, they were gunked up with corrosion & gunked up old grease. Cleaned & greased, and everything has been fine ever since.

Did the same this last week got an 1100g that had been sitting for 8 months in the weather. It wasn't so much the pistons as it was the sliding pins full of junk. rusty and horrid, just cleaned them up and lubed and away we went.
