Hi,
I have a 2002 Honda ST1100 and I have an issue with the front wheel getting stuck, to the point where I am unable to move the bike backwards it's stuck so hard. But I can ride forward using engine power.
I thought this issue was occurring in the morning after a cold night but it actually seems to be related to how often I use the clutch before stopping, I have a habit of holding the clutch in during slow corners, which there's a lot of as I drive home
After feathering the clutch like this for long periods, when I then stop, the bike will be 'stuck' and I can't push it backwards. If I ride without needing to use the clutch very often and then stop then the bike will move backwards fine.
After it becomes stuck, if i ride for a little while without using the clutch then it will becomes unstuck and roll backwards fine.
A friend also mentioned he smelt burning when I pulled up next to him but I can't be sure as my sense of smell is non existent since covid
I checked the fluid in the little containers on the handlebars and seems almost full, when this happens my bike is unable to move forward on the clutch too. Normally I can edge forward slowly with just the clutch and no revs, but when this happens the bike will not move forward and stall instead if I open the clutch with 0 revs
Any ideas what could cause this? Or where I should start looking first?
