Virago front brake lock up

#1 Unread post by puckwall »

Hi All,
I own a 95 1100. If the bike is left sitting in the sun above about 85 degrees, the front brake locks up. If moved into the shaded area, they will release to normal again. If it's hotter, say 95 or so, they will lock up if it is in the sun or not. A quick twist of the brake line nut on the master cyclinder will releave the pressure but then I have air in the line. Changed the brake fluid with new but still have the problem.
Anyone have this problem or any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks for the help.

Doug
