Fitted Moore money. May fix it may not. Wtf. So. Any ideas fellas.
Brock:
I'm guessing here, but I presume your bike has ABS.
Have the brakes been bled properly ( There is a special sequence to do this properly), have they been taken apart and cleaned out, have the master cylinders been cleaned
Bleed sequence.

It sounds ABS proportioning valve to my humble knowledge :think1
Whether it be car or bike there is somthing refreshing about finding a mechanic who is a problem solver and a true repairer and not just a parts changer until they inadvertently fix the problem and you pay for the bits until they do :H
Good luck with it Don, I'm sure the answer will reveal its self here.

Cheers yes first thing I did was pull off front brake calipers clean all parts pistons out all good front & rear new disc pads , flushed brakes bleed in sequence bye the book. Master cylinders cleAned flush got rid of all the crud in the front one wasn't pretty . Brakes at the time felt great, I rode up to Taree. O/n back the next day that was the first time 110 Klm hour off the freeway applied the brakes couldn't move either brakes. Pucker time luckily made it around the off ramp used the gears and rolled to the next intersection and every thing went back to normal, except my hart & but. Lol. So you now where I'm at . So keep your ideas coming we might touch on something that hasn't been covered.. ABS Proportioning valve will check it out cheers. St2up.
