It is funny, as I went to the garage on Wednesday to sneak the bike out, when I know they were not going to be home, and the darn thing wouldn't start (bad ignition switch as it turns out) and my car died on me on Thursday!
All just coincidence I'm sure here, lets not aggravate the situation as I'm finally free and this new guy deserves what he gets (from her). I almost felt sorry for the guy until I found out the whole truth, now he can just suffer like everyone else.

Is she the beneficiary? That explains why she didn't want the divorce.........then she wouldn't get that big pay day!

Alright peeps I'm sure that I've got it figured out, though I haven't been able to test it. As I had stated earlier, my wife and I have split and she's move another guy in so it's been difficult to get things done while avoiding a confrontation. I filed for divorce and she got pissed (why I have no idea) and then gave me until Sunday to my stuff out of the garage. So, Saturday I moved everything, but the bike wouldn't start. The lights wouldn't come on. I chased it...

I go back through old threads just to see what the solutions to the problems were. We all learn from the solutions.

Sorry, I haven't been able to get back to it since I asked. It's at my old place and it's best to go there when the soon to be ex and her boyfriend aren't! It isn't pretty but it cool! At least she's being cool about my stuff that's still in the garage. This weekend the stocker will be in it's new home. Now, getting the chopped up project from the garage to my new basement may take a while!
I'll report back when it's done!

Smack it with a rubber hammer...if'in it breaks free then you need to rebuild it..brake that is...

Are you sure it is the brake and not a binding in the axle/bearing?

Pull the caliper off the rotor and see if you get the same thing while pushing. put a paint stick in the caliper incase the piston is closing it.

Fist thing I would check is a kinked hose. Is a brake line pinching when you turn the bars?

So, when I push my bike and turn the wheel the brake locks up. When I turn it straight again to frees up. I don't have any noticeable braking during a slow turn but I'm sure it happens while riding also. I'm thinking a bearing problem. I need some confirmation or a new direction to fix it.
Thanks,
