ok i was coming home on my motorcycle 1982 yamaha maxim 400 and the front brake locked on the rotor, like the little push cylinder in the caliper pushed down on its own and started slowing me way down and i stopped on the road and it was smoking. so i poured oil all over it and pryed it apart as best as i could to make it home. then i removed the caliper and from the fork and took the bleeder out to release the piston part and now it has like no pressure. the screw on the master cylinder is stripped so i cant get the cover off, but if i can get it off would that fix the problem if i added some brake fluid? or does this sound like a different problem in the caliper itself?
Everybody knows that IPL is a center of match fixing and corruption. So there should not be any shock by latest spot fixing scandal and Sreesanth or two other cricketers are not isolated case. What will you say about a big no ball by RP Singh or three catches dropped by Pollord in a row. Why, even in yesterday's match between Rajasthan and Hyderabad, players of Rajasthan did not go for run out appeal in a clear run out. IPL is all about vulgar money. We audience have our daily fix of cricket-entertainment. Not only there is spot fixing but also matches are scripted and it is pre decided which teams are going to play off round and which team is going to win the trophy.
The caliper is toast.you could rebuild it, but check the price on a reman unit at your local motorcycle shop, or from a catalog vendor.if it's not too dear cost wise, it will be fairly easy to bolt on and bleed. Since it locked up you might consider replacing the rotor too. At least have it checked out.
