This is interesting. First mechanical issues, since I picked up the ninjette a few weeks ago. This started happening a day or two ago.

The front brake engages pressure on it's own. Both stationary, and riding. But it isn't all the time. I can park it after a quick ride, next day, front brake is locked up. Or, I can be doing a puttering ride, just to stroll around,.. Then it slowly engages on it's on. ( revs climb, bike slowly dives down. Front locked up. Other times, I come back to it, and the pressure is gone.

I bled the brakes, first day recieving the bike, and has not been faulty, till recently.

Going to do a full overhaul on the system. I have never experienced this situation, where it applies pressure ( and releases on it's own.) I find it interesting. I can understand items being frozen/locked. ( for ex:bike sitting for years) but not one that. Builds up , and releases on its own.
