I havea 04 rubi 500 the rear brakes when I hit them (foot brake) since the lever cable is shot will not in lock they stay locked up I changes the spring seals an greased the (cam) it moved freely why would it lock up?
For the front brakes one piston seized on the right side but I have new ones on the way I bleed them but don't have pressure would that be just because the one piston is seized?

For the rear brakes, I'd guess that the cable itself is stickey inside the sleave. Maybe try greasing it with a cable luber.

The fronts, to me don't sound like a result of a stuck piston. Whether or not its stuck, you should have brake fluid pressure in the line when you press the brake.

Are the rears only cable activated? If not, do you get fluid pressure at the rear bleed point?

FYI, I have no intimate knowledge of your perticular machine so this is blanket advice. Oh, and welcome aboard bro.
