Had a bit of a moment yesterday although somehow I managed to hold on. Anyone know the cause. Been on the same suspension settings for the past year and never had any probs before. When it calmed down the front brake did not work. The lever came right back to the grip. Couple of pumps and it seemed ok.

Slappers often knock the caliper pistons back via the brakepads had the same ting happen to me on a Kr1S on a crack in the road caused the front wheel to wobble and made the bike tank slap and knocked the pistons back almost causing me to crash at the next bend.
Probably just the road surface caused the instability?

Soften all your settings especially the comp rebound and preload.
Mine was the same and now I can run over a brick and it behave.
( No I have not /will not run over bricks to test my settings)!
