newer pointys rely on the rear brake light switch spring to return the brake lever. to get this to work properly you must keep the brake lever bolt well greased. do not use copper grease, CV (moly) grease is the best but if you dont have that then good old regular bearing grease, if you dont have any of those then chain lube will do as long as you re lube every service by spraying it at the joints of the lever.

the other option is to buy the older (K3) type return spring and fit that.
