I went to have a new front tyre fitted to my bike R1200GS 2014 LC today.
My tyre fitter removed the front Brake calipers and the front wheel to replace the tyre. After refitting the wheel and the brake calipers he pulled the front brake lever to pump the brakes as the pads had been pushed back slightly to remove the calipers.
On pulling the front brake lever it came back to the bars but didn't return! The plunger that the lever pushes in was stuck in the pushed in position!
Eventually after removing level and forcing brake pads back a bit further the plunger was freed and came out (no level in position to hold it in).
After fitting the plunger back and reassembled everything, the brakes were pumped up correctly and all was working correctly.
Has anyone seen this problem before or have any idea why this would happen?
Thanks
Ian
