[QUOTE="BentAero, post: 1294804, member: 3651"] I had a Honda ST1300 10 years ago that had the exact same symptoms; rear brake started to drag intermittently, then with no warning it just 'stuck on' -while on the freeway, cherry-red glowing rotor included. The master cyl seal had a micro leak, which let fluid get on the back-side of the seal (after a brake overpressure panic stop), which meant the piston couldn't retract. Since it couldn't retract, it was blocking the return bleed hole. Sort of a catch-22. All it needed was a master cylinder rebuild kit and all was healed. [/QUOTE]
