Back in mid May I did a brake bleed and replaced the front brake pads on my Oilhead. Didn’t do a lot of riding on the Oilhead but the brakes operated fine.
Just took a 2000 km trip with the R1100RT pulling my one wheel trailer. Haven’t used the trailer during the past two COVID years. On this trip the front brakes became “grabby” when coming to a stop. Hadn’t experienced this in the past with the trailer. Thought I possibly overloaded the the trailer although I doubted that as I hadn’t packed as much as my usual camping gear.
Once I arrived in Winnipeg and dropped the trailer at the in-laws, I tested the brakes and found them to still be grabby when stopping.
Any thoughts as what changed and how to eliminate the less than stellar stops, especially before I leave for the trip home?
