    Clutch/Brake issue

    Changed the front sprocket and rear brake line on the bike so I took it for a short ride everything was fine at first then stopped at a light and the bike didn't feel the same taking off. Stopped two more times before the bike refused to move with the clutch all the way out and giving it gas. Pushed it home put it on the rear stand put it in gear and let the clutch out and the wheel spins. I'm confused what the problem could be I thought the clutch wasn't engaging but the wheel spins faster if I hit the throttle so it seems like it is. My other thought was that I somehow got the rear brake stuck and when the bike was on the ground it couldn't over come the resistance. If any one has had a similar experience or has an idea I'd love any and all advice thanks

    There is a world of info in this section of the forum: http://www.apriliaforum.com/forums/f...6-1000cc-f-a-q

    Sounds like your rear brake is locking up because you have too much brake fluid or not enough play at the lever or both. These have been discussed lots of times.

    Thanks souldaddy for pointing me in the right direction. I just got a chance to look at it today and it appears it was a lack of free play causing too much fluid in the line.
