Last weekend I went riding then drove onto trailer, 7 days later (Sat.) I was ready to ride again.

Started my RS Venture & allowed it to warm up. As I engaged it into reverse & then forward the only thing moving was the RPM. I lifted the hood & noticed the clutch working but still had no movement forward or reverse. I excersised the park brake, sprayed some magic lubricant & whalla I was ready to ride.

Have other riders expereinced the brake to freeze up? First time this has happened to me. I checked my liquid levels & moving parts, all look good.
 
I noticed a problem with my new Vector. It was out of adjustment from the dealer (wouldn't hold on the tilted trailer) so when I went to adjust it, I found it wouldn't always fully release. When I disconnected the cable from the caliper and held the cable end, moving the engagement lever from off to on had a definite catch during part of the travel. I think the cable is defective.
It's on the list for follow up at the first service.
 
Yeah once you run the sled all day it seems fine. After sitting in trailer for a week or so it sometimes freezes up & other times not. You're right, I'm just going to replace cable.
