We bought an old (1985) Honda CB 900 to run parts to the field - actually in great condition. Much cheaper than running a 10 MPG pickup around.
Previous owner put new brakes on the front and rear that's turned into an issue. After he put the brakes on he never rode the bike - he had bought it with the intention to ride but his wife talked him out of it (he was 70 years old). Just sitting the front brake tightens up and eventually its locked. My son thought it was fixed and parked it in our shop and I went to roll it to another spot and couldn't because the front brake had locked up. In order to move the cycle you have to bleed pressure off it. (has twin disks - both brakes tighten) If you bleed it off and take off down the road on it immediately begins to build up pressure and the front brake will lock up - sending the rider over the handle bars (actual event). The temporary solution has been to open the bleeders and just run it with the back brake and no front brake. With all the fluid bled of the front brake doesn't build up pressure. With only the back brake the stopping distances are a bit long and we need to get it working again.
Anyone have an idea what is goin on with this? It is filled with Dot 3 brake fluid - as per the reservoir directions. Right now its empty so it can be used.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
