Possible reasons for brakes siezing at 80mph on the highway

Listen to Howie.  Ato's and my last post were not serious.

+1. joking around about putting holes in the face of the lever where your pinkie rests to let air flow through when you go real real fast.

awwww  .....I was hoping it would add horsepower, just like how those stickers I put on the swingarm boosted me up 6bhp

thanks for the help, i'll be home in a couple hours and check it out. Are we talking about the bleeder on the master or the one by the caliper?

Doesn't really matter.

The pressure, if present, will be relieved at either spot.

I opened the bleeder at the caliper and it dribbled out for a minute and then stopped, then i checked the reservoir and it seemed overfilled so i pulled some of it out so it was right in between the high and the low level. brakes dont seem any different an i rode it around abit to see if i could recreate the issue and no dice

i'm hesitant to declare your problem "SOLVED!", but I am curious as to the color/clarity of your brake fluid. If its murky and gunked up, you may have some clogs floating around.

actually its perfectly clear, I had my fluids done about 3 weeks ago. Crystal Clear!

well, beyond the adjustment mentioned above by howie, you may have been overfilled.
