Heheh, you should move to any of the numerous states in America where the law to wear a helmet doesn't exist!

but then it wouldn't be breaking the law = not tuff

yeah you wear you head on the pavement when you go down :P

gangsta bikers dont go down.

Hey guys, my right rear brake is grabbing/stuck.

Anyone know how i can release it from being stuck?? I'm going camping tomorrow which is like 1.5hours drive... unless someone from the west side want to give me a hand tonight?

Thinking about winging it but scared as I'm an amature!

Sounds like one of the shafts that guide the brakes closed is bent. You'd need a new caliper, i wouldn't try to straighten the shaft you'll never get it straight.. Good luck

So don't bother trying to unstuck it?

The problem is that I won't have time to drop by a mechanic until Monday.... and my car is used to carry luggages to camp tomorrow. :wacko:

You can try by undoing the bolts on the back of the caliper that hold the front face on, but if it is one of the shafts, chances of getting it back together without attempting to straighten it is minimal..

hmmmm..... not liking my chances here .

Do you know if it takes long to fix my problem at a brake shop?

Worst comes, I'll just have to wing it tomorrow to the camp site and hope for the best.

Well if u can pick up another caliper tonight it would take about half an hour plus a brake fluid bleed!

With the bike?

Or alvin letting me drive a turbo for the first time through the otways?

Not sure, guy on the commodore thread said so. Didn't ask on there as its a bit more public.

I asked Justin and he didn't see any incidents

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
