Sticking brakes

[Ste M]

Hello, I keep finding that after pulling up that when I then go to move my bike backwards, still sitting on it, the brakes seem to be stuck on, if i then move it forwards it seems to release but moving backwards it feels like the front brake is dragging. It's happened when Ive had a trip to work, so 7 miles, or today after a 100 mile trip home from Anglesey. once free it seems ok but i just find this really annoying. At no other time do the brakes feel like they're binding by the way

Hill start locking?

+1 on hill start. Look for green brake sign with H on top left of dash, can come on if you double pull front brake when stationary

Yes feels similar. Is this a dealer job then?

No, there's no issue with the bike as it's a feature. I can't recall but you might be able to deselect in the settings. Next time it does it, look top left of dash for green brake symbol. If it's on, just pull front brake and I think it clears. I often see it and I've just got used to it but I ought to read the manual to understand it. If that's it, which I think it is then definitely not dealer, just rider needs to read the manual - and that includes me

The green light definitely isn't on when it happens. I use the Hill start a bit so know that feature. Thats what it feels like though but definitely no green light on

Mine does this if I try to go backwards after pulling front brake (only found out last weekend when getting suspension set up) I put it down to the hill start

Bit annoying though if your next manoeuvre is rolling it backwards into a parking spot or the garage

I found another wee press of the brake releases it

Just in case it is related to the hill hold feature, you can disable/enable this feature in the settings menu.
I personally don?t like it, don?t even like it in manual cars lol.

I'm not convinced by hill start either. It's a PITA if you are trying to do a multi point turn only to find the brakes locked on. It's caught me out a few times.
