Why Doesn't the Rear Brake of a Motorcycle Return to Position?

[OLilliana]

There are several reasons why the rear brake of a motorcycle does not return to position: Brake Cable Damage: Internal rusting or broken strands of the brake cable can cause the brake to stick and not return after being applied. Solution: If the brake cable is confirmed to be damaged, the only solution is to replace the brake cable. Brake Arm Corrosion: Corrosion of the brake arm can prevent the brake from returning smoothly, as the spring's tension cannot overcome the resistance caused by the corrosion. Solution: Spray and clean the brake arm with a cleaning agent to restore its function. Brake Fluid Contamination: Water entering the brake fluid can cause the piston in the wheel cylinder to rust, hindering the return force. Solution: Replace the brake fluid.
