So I've had my R850R for about six weeks or so and its been fine. Had a brand new MOT when I bought it with zero advisories.
On Saturday I went for a ride and about 60 miles in the front brake lever started pulling closer and closer to the bars. Took a flick with a finger to make it go back fully as well.
I could pump it up and get some pressure back when stopped but it only lasted a few minutes. Limped home very very carefully.
I cant see a leak anywhere but I think its on the original brake hoses and I have no idea how old the brake fluid is.
Also it was very very hot on Saturday (for the UK) and I was on a hilly single track road.
I have ordered some Venhill braided hoses and will fit those and bleed the system.
Is it likely to be anything else?
P.S No ABS on this bike.
