1998 ST2. In transit from Truckee, CA to Monterey via 36(KILLER RIDE) and will hit 101/1 tomorrow.
During my ride, my rear brake pedal all of a sudden went 'dead'. Usually there is about an inch or so to engage the brake, out of nowhere, it went to like three inches. I stopped immediately, the rear brake was draggging pretty hard. I pumped the pedal a few times, rotated the tire while on the center stand, it took some force-way more than usual to rotate. Being in the middle of nowhere and getting dark I pressed on, stopped a few times to make sure nothing was melting. Well, the pedal came back to normal, and the brake works now, but with a bit of noise. The pads were JUST replaced.
Any input? Seems like the piston got stuck for 10 minutes before returning?
