Hi all
I have a front disc brake on my Li S3 (think its a scootrs ) that , when I push the bike backwards, taking it out of the garage for example, keeps locking up the front wheel. I don't have any issues whilst riding it just pushing it back.
I took the housing off the disc and applied a small amount of copper grease to the 2 posts and it seemed to do the job for a few days but is now back to locking up.
Any ideas would be much appreciated
Thanks

I had a similar problem with the R1 four pot caliper on my Abarth, and I replaced the pads and all was good again, regardless of direction.

I can't really explain why, but it worked for me.

is it possible that caliper is not 100% in line with brake disc causing the pads to wear on a slant so causing the resistance when reversing, only a guess.

Thanks for the replies I'll have another look

It is very possible & a pain to sort out.
