2021 F3 with a sticky Brake pedal not releasing - any thoughts?

[Myron Ah]

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.

 

[Myron Ah]

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.
