Got a problem with the brakes on my 2010 Kosmic, as you look at the kart from the back, the left piston keeps sticking, causing the brakes to bind and slowing us down, I release the relevant bleed nipple, let out a little fluid and the brakes free off again, only for a short while though and then it binds again. I have stripped the caliper, cleaned the pistons, put back together and again, it works fine only for it to eventually bind again. It's only the left piston which stick's, the other returns fine. there is no air in the system but I am running out of idea's.I have been advised to change the fluid completely and start again, would this cure the problem?
Help!!
