Hi, I have a 2007 Goldwing with 2600 miles on it. It has abs brakes.I have had no problems up to this point. The other day I pulled it out and let it warm up prior to taking off, when I went to leave the brakes were totally locked up. I cracked open the two rear bleeders and the the wheels freed up. I parked it that day. Yesterday, I took it out it seemed ok until I got about a half a mile away, then it happened again. So I cracked the rear bleeders and carefully made it back home without applying the brakes. When I crack the bleeders I get fluid out of the top one but nothing comes out of the lower one. Has anyone experienced this problem or have any ideas on what it might be.
Thanks
Ken

This is not good. I don't have ABS, but I have a '08. I'm watching this one with special personal interest.

Front Brake Reservoir
1: Front Right Brake Upper Bleeder Valve 8mm
2: Front Left Brake Middle/lower Bleeder Valve 10mm
Rear Reservoir (under right side chrome)
1: Front Left Brake Upper Bleeder Valve 8mm
2: Front Right Brake Lower Bleeder Valve 10mm
3: Rear Brake Lower Bleeder Valve 8mm
4: Anti-Dive: bleeder valve on top 10mm
