How to diagnose sticky brake piston?
#2
This is a simple one just for starters, get some degreaser spray, or i s'pose even WD40 (just avoid overspray on rear disc), and clean out the joint of the rear brake foot lever.
I clean mine every few months and really notice a difference when it's done.
I normally use the spray then oil or grease it back up afterwards.
It tends to get clogged up quite easily as i ride in all weathers, and if you haven't done it before it could cause a spongy feeling.
Definitely worth 2 minutes of your time......
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
