Having problems with the front calipers on this Rvf, basically they work very well but are constantly binding on the discs? Right one seems worse. I have stripped the calipers took seals out cleaned everything and refitted but still the same. There is a small amount of pitting on the piston but this is at the top.

Thanks

All the springs present in the calipers?

noticed the same on mine today!

mines an NC30 i have stripped them down and gave them a good seeing too. but problem still persists

Have any of the bikes been standing?

They should free off after a decent ride.

Also... dont' overfill the brake fluid resevoir.. when the fluid gets hot and expands it'll stick the brakes on...

I had front brake binding problems I couldn't solve no matter what I did.

Bought a brand new master cylinder and all problems gone.


This may not solve your issues, but take a look at the master cylinder also, not just the calipers.

Thanks for all the replies. It did end up being the master cylinder at fault. Took it apart and gave it a good clean up and brakes work perfectly.
