Well, I must apologize but...the very same thing happened to my 400..same reason, same result. I rebuilt the caliper, wouldn't release. I rebuild the MC, wouldn't release. I put newer (proven) upper and lower lines on, wouldn't release...went to steel braided..no joy. Then fitted EX 500 ..well it was better, but still dragging. When the penny finally dropped that the rotor was warped - I was too ashamed to tell anyone.

My 1976 RE5 Rotary Suzuki did that when it sat for a few years. I was lucky, had to clean the whole dual disk system, but no need for new parts. What a PITA. |

It is? I guess those 3 Z1 calipers (2 on the front, 1 on the rear I ran), really didn't fit the 1973 H2 forks, but, they did bolt right up, and sweep was same as the H2 calipers I took off, I must have been so confused. I ran them only a short time, daily, for a mere 20 plus years before the bike got stolen in Merced, California. |
