I’ve only found one other thread on this issue and may god rest his sole I guess he died and his wife posted the thread!
Scenario: I was riding down a neighborhood road posted speed limit was 45 I was doing about 55-60. I was in 4th gear and I went to give it a little gas and the bike sounded like it was bogging out a little bit like I was in too high of a gear so I shifted down to third the bike the bike was still bogging and slowing drastically. The brakes didn’t actually lock up but they did make me come to a complete stop and the car behind me almost took me out. Luckily I was close enough to a turn lane and dove into the turn lane and avoided the accident.
I got off my bike to diagnose and found I had no front brake pressure I could completely pull in the front brakes with no pressure. I proceeded to look down by the brakes and my front left brake rotor was scorching hot. ( left front as if I was sitting on the bike, so it would be right front if I was staring at the bike head on). The other brake rotor was cool to the touch almost like it wasn’t even under pressure.
Eventually the brake pressure came back and I rode it down a residential area to try and diagnose the problem further. I could hear to scrapping or scratching but I did hear some sort of clicking. I’m on the side of the road kinda scared to ride the bike home.
