Motorcycle Repair: 1984 Honda Magna Brake Problem, 1984 honda magna, lever watch
QuestionYour offer of more help is appreciated but I am not sure what else there is to do. It would cost more to replace the calipers and master cylinders than the bike is worth. Seems strange that this happened over night and now can not be corrected. There is something going on we are missing. Any suggestions?

-----Question-----
Front brakes are sticking, overheating and locking up. Master cylinder and calipers have been rebuilt. If lever is pumped brakes will tighten up and hold. Will release with a squirt if bleeder is opened up. Almost like using lever is pressurizing the line more and more with each pull. Honda shop was no help - told me to sell the bike.

still fighting it aat . well lets think for a few seconds ,did u look at the little plunger at the brake lever , i spoke to a few of my mechanics at the sshop we all seem to agree possibbly the pluger is bad .it is wher the lever meet the master cylinder . also we went onver the rebuild process of the calipers we have seen the inside of A master cylinder rebuilt, that was re-built thye mech had put the ribber cups and sleeves backwards therefore pusshing pressure but not releasing chk this scenerio and let me know . P.S dont get to dicsouraged ok. well get it.
