quick question, R1 problems

[ranna]

Booked my R1 in at the dealer to get some parts fitted, One of the parts was some HEL brake lines front and rear.

Got the bike back and it looks awesome (got other bits fitted too)

Anyway, im riding along and my brakes are dragging, e.g im tootling along at 50, roll off the throttle and it brakes by itself pretty damn quick, I was at 20 before i could put the brakes on myself.

Im thinkin, ok thats weird, I couldnt even push the bike the brakes were on so hard like they siezed up. So i call out yamaha and they come to collect. When they arrive the bikes fine, moves along perfectly fine, like nothing happened.

They take the bike anyway just to be sure, they look over it and say its fine, obviously im thinking hold on the brakes just bloody locked up randomly how is everything fine.

any ideas to what it might be? Dont really want this to happen again while im out on some A roads doing silly speeds

cheers in advance

pistons sticking? Might only be noticable when the brakes are warm and expanded slightly? try cleaning out the calipers.

do you have aftermarket levers,i once fitted aftermarket ones and they caused the exact same problem..they werent machined right apparently.

mine actually locked the brakes full on eventually.

yeh fitted pazzo levers. got it back today from the dealer, so i took it out for 50 or so miles and everything now seems fine.

cheers for the replys
