Hi Bird 200: Rear Brakes are Binding

I hate to do this, but I can't find what I am looking for. I know I will get scolded, but I need to be reminded of the fix on the 200 Hi Bird issue with the rear brakes binding because the cylinder does not release properly and holds the caliper tight til the pressure is bled off. I have been out of the loop for a while, but now I am back, I just hope I can relearn how to use this great service you all provide!

Rear disk? Loosen up your linkage at the master cylinder and make sure there's lots of slop in it. I adjusted the slop out of mine and after riding, the disk, pads, caliper and fluid heated up and locked the rear.
Welcome back!
