Default MOT passed then crashed.

Had a look over the bike this morning. Put it up on the paddock stand. The rear wheel moves fine easy as pie chain and rear cailper all seem fine.

There is no more oil leaking out. But after removing the sprocket cover it is covered in oil.

Do you think I have damaged the seal behind the front sprocket ?? Also dose the top bolt of the sprocket cover go into engine. I mean if you left it out would oil come out ??

Put the front end up in the air. The front wheel was locked solid. Removed the left hand side cailper to find the seal had come lose on one of the pistons. With the right cailper still on the wheel moves fine

So the reason why she slammed me to the ground is a front wheel lock up due to the cailper locking up.

My next problem is to find out if the oil was leaking because she was on her side or because something has broken.
