SOURCE: left front caliper keeps locking

sounds like the flex line is crushed inside alowing the caliper to apply but not release.
The best way to tell is to pump up the brake pedal and get the caliper to lock up. Open the bleeder screw. If the wheel suddenly become easy to turn, the flex line is wrecked. If it is still hard to turn, there is a problem with your caliper.

SOURCE: front brakes locking up

Sounds like the front brake hoses went bad on you. Fluid goes into the calipers and builds up pressure, and applies the brakes, because the fluid can't come back out of the calipers. Usually when hoses go, they tear on the inside, creating a one way valve type of flap. I hope that this helped. Best wishes to ya.

SOURCE: Retro fit ABS brakes to 2008 Suzuki M50

There are no aftermarket ABS kits available. Due to liability issues I would not expect to see them in the US. It is theoretically possible to adapt an ABS system from another vehicle for use on the bike but the work involved would be prohibitively expensive. The best improvements you can make are:
1) Working on your braking technique.
2) Using aftermarket brake rotors such as Galfer Wave units.
3) Adapting braking systems from another bike that has great brakes (GSXR or similar racing style bike).
4) Making sure your current system is operating properly (good fluid, good pads, pads moving in the caliper as they should).

Front brakes lock up

Hi Walter
You said, The front brakes lock up.
Hoe this is happening? Is the wheels lock up by itself?
If this the case, you need to check the front brake flexible hoses for blockage and/or the brake booster pushing rod needs adjustment. (Should be 1MM away from master cylinder).
Good luck

Jeep liberty front brakes lock on ?

is it both wheels? check the line going to the wheel or wheels that are locking up, if there is any sign of a fluid leak replace the line. when they leak they will apply enough pressure to lock the brake, but will not release the pressure there for it stays locked

I can bleed the front brakes and leave my bike over night and the front brake will lock up completly fairly new brake pads and brand new front brake resivor

It sounds like you have an air lock in the system .
I would make sure to use the right brake fluid , drain the system and bleed the brakes again and making sure that no air is locked in the system

Brake lock-up

I suspect that you have front disc and rear drum brakes.You did not say which of your brakes are locking up. I suggest that if your front brakes are locking {skid} that means your rear brakes are not engaging. If your rear brakes are locking {skid} then I suggest you have problems with park brake or brake fluid leaking onto the rear shoes.
More info would help me help you. I will check back soon.
