2021 F3 with a sticky Brake pedal not releasing - any thoughts?
My 2021 F3 Limited has a sticky brake pedal. It only happens after I have been ryding for a while. It does not go back far enough when I stop and park. I always have to reach under it and pull it up with my foot. Does not do it after it's sat in the garage for a while nor driving down the road, only after I have ridden a while. I have a #5 brake rod and F3 boards from CanAmSpyderAccessories. It also did it with the OEM boards in the #5 position. Any thoughts?

Have you checked brake fluid?

I am not familiar with the F3 setup, but my first thought is lubricate anything that moves.

I did need fluid in the reservoir, but it still sticks after it has been ridden. Going to try lubricating the pedal. There must be an internal spring. Anyway, I will be trying some spray lubricant.

Was the brake reservoir empty or just a little low? Wondering if you got air in system which would require bleeding the lines and finding the leak..... If lube does not work.

CsOldGrayDog, it was just low. no air. Pedal feels great and brakes work fine. I need to spray the linkage/mount on the bar.

The return is by spring, sorry also not familiar with F3 set up, most return springs are external & viewable.

Myron, I'm not the smartest wrench turner but this sounds suspicious for a check valve problem in your master cylinder. Just a thought.
