A little brake thing...

Brakes have been working perfect. Came to a routine stop and when I went to go the bike didn't want to move. Manipulated the brake controls a few times and then suddenly the bike would move again. Not sure where to start to sort out what caused this issue. Any tips?

Seized brakes no doubt, strip and clean regrease your pistons.

+1.

Most likely sticking pistons or the sliding arm on the front calipers is binding. Time for a front caliper service.

Agreed, i replaced my seal set yesterday after a dust seal popped out when i started to clean them on saturday eve, only trouble is they didnt need new seals! but im glad i did it because when i had my lh caliper off i found the slider had siezed up! and it took some pursauding to come off.
