MULTIPLE CHOICES -
1. TOW TO HONDA DEALER AND PAY THEM.
2. HAVE A MOBILE REPAIR MECHANIC COME TO CAR.
3. http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers/bleeding-abs-brake-systems NOTE: ABS
SYSTEM MAY CONTAIN OLDE DIRTY FLUID.
SOURCE: fully rebuilt front calipers but they will not relaease
Try the Hoses if they are original they may be breaking up internally and stopping the fluid from returning to the master cyl.
SOURCE: What is the proper procedure to bleed the air out
The one man way is to get a small botle( a spice bottle and fill it about a third of the way up. Place a piece of tube (clear preferably)of the proper dimension over your bleeder valve located on caliper. Then open bleed valve and presson brake pedal. If all bubbles escaped thru tube into bottle, then you may repeat untilno bublesremain then tighten bleeder valve. If bubbles remain in hose, close bleeder before releasing brake. This will probably require an assistant. Ensure you keep reservoir from going dry by filling when necessary. Repeat as necessry until all bubbles are gone from brakelines.
SOURCE: how to fit front master cylinder repair kit
Just remove the lever, gently pull rubber boot out of the body, take a snap ring pliers,and remove the circlip, and pull the piston out of the body. Use the piston as a reference to install the seals correctly on the new piston. Be sure to take out the screw in the reservoir, remove the reservoir, and clean the fluid return pin hole ( Must Be Clear) , next to the large fluid feeder hole. Also using a dowel covered with a lint free cloth gently wipe out the piston sleeve being careful not to scratch the walls ( Do Not Hone The Master Cylinder or it will be ruined). Coat parts with brake fluid before reassembly in reverse order. Cover bike with plastic and put some old rags under master cylinder. Before tightening brake hose bolt, fill the master cylinder with dot 3/4 brake fluid and pump the lever until the master cylinder is pushing fluid out the end where bolt and hose are loosely connected, now tighten bolt holding the brake line on. This will aid greatly in bleeding the system.
SOURCE: master cylinder not releasing pressure
This is probably not the master cylinder, but more likely the brake caliper sticking.
The caliper uses hard-rubber 'O' rings, and they get old and 'sticky', to the point that they will no longer 'release' the brake pads.
Either rebuild your caliper, or replace with a new one.
