try taking your caliper off and pushing the pistons back in. You might have sticky pistons

Fixed it, not enough spacers on the spacer bolt causing it to be mounted in contact with the disc, added some more and wam the bike rolls. Thanks to those who gave suggestion though.

Stop wishing. You are already funnier than me. Until your last post, you never wrote anything about why your brake does not work, right after you said you fixed it, and then posted here expecting someone to further advise you on it. Secondly you wrote "another problem for you guys". It's not our problem, its yours. Think about the tone in what you write. People rarely read things how you expect them to. Think carefully about your words. Anyway what happens ... only one response. Me trying to help you think about what you wrote - knowing that you would otherwise get ZERO replies.

Bottom line is if you want help on a net forum, then try to post some short useful info on what is wrong and what you have checked yourself so people can help you without wasting their own time. The previous postings only served to confuse anyone. Then you wrote "The back break does not work". That's like saying "My engine wont start". People will usually assume you forgot to turn on the fuel - and so they wont reply.

In your rear brake case, most people would assume you don't have leaking fluid pissing everywhere, your pads are not jammed on, you are not talking about a very weak brake, so you either have/had air in the system (needing a bleed) or poor quality and/or contaminated fluid so you have jammed a cylinder and/or blown a seal (needing new parts). But why help you when you wont help yourself by giving more info?

When I replied - to help you think about what you wrote, I guess it worked because you followed up with some tiny details, and only then did one kind fella had a guess for you.

So tell us, did you get your answer? Mr "custom" is waiting for your feedback and maybe also a thank you.

Why do I try to help you? In this case because I believe that if people don't practice helping others then they forget how to.
