Rear hydraulic brake seizing
#6
10-4 to what PK said. If he brakes are locking in hot weather bleeding and replacing fluid is good. Even though you got the bike two months ago the fluid could be old and have moisture in it.
For starters I'd check the fluid level in the master cylinder it could be overfilled and the heat expands it and locks the brakes. Kind of weird but worth checking and setting it to low level.
Never Give Up!!!
