Over the last few days my brake pedal has been sticking after ive pressed it and im having to use left foot to pull it back up.

Solution?

Me and town325 replaced M/C few months back n its been fine for ages. Theres a return spring in passenger footwell, something to do with that?

return spring is not optional dude, so I suggest refitting that to ensure correct brake operation.

check the bulkhead for rot too, common and causes exactly what you describe.... hopefully in your case the spring will sort it :D

I havent removed the spring, just wondering if that is indeed the cause of the pedal not coming back up after pressing it.

I had a look on realoem but couldnt find which part number it was :(
