I have a 2012 Yamaha FZ6R. Its brakes were working perfectly fine before. Over the past weekend, I went ahead to replace the front brake lines with Galfer Braided stainless steel brake lines and also installed new ebay clutch and brake levers.
At the end of my test ride (about 4 miles) a couple of days ago, the front brake seized up completely. I had to use a 8mm wrench to open up the bleeder nipper and release some brake fluid in order for it to work. After that, it worked perfectly ok again. I thought the cause was because I put too much brake fluid in the reservoir (on the handle bar).
Then, I experienced the same issue again today, even though the brake fluid is no longer overfilled. Now I am confused What is the problem here? What did I do wrong when I replaced the brake lines?
Many thanks!
