My 88 keeps locking up the rear brake only. I have changed the rear Caliper out and thought that fixed it, but no it locked up again. When I first start it and start driving the pedal has normal play. However after about 5 miles the rear brake will lock up and the pedal is struck hard in the up position. I have to turn the bleeder to bleed off the pressure before the bike will even move. I have to bleed off so much that the rear brake is really not working at all. Does any one have any thoughts about what could be causing this?
