1. Park the Blaster in a safe location and turn off the engine. Allow it to cool down completely if necessary.
2. Locate the brake caliper on the front wheel. The brake caliper is a metal housing attached to the left fork of the Blaster with a single bolt.
3. Use a crescent wrench to loosen the bolt attaching the brake caliper to the fork. Be careful not to drop the bolt.
4. Once the bolt is loosened, remove the brake caliper from the fork. This will allow you to inspect the brake pads and caliper piston for any damage or debris that may be causing the sticking.
5. Check the brake pads for wear. If the brake pads are worn down to the point where the metal backing plate is visible, they will need to be replaced.
6. Inspect the brake caliper piston for any signs of damage or corrosion. If the piston is damaged, it must be replaced.
7. Clean the brake caliper and piston using a mild detergent and water. Ensure all debris and dirt have been removed.
8. If necessary, lubricate the brake caliper piston with a small amount of brake grease. This will help to prevent the caliper from sticking in the future.
9. Reinstall the brake caliper to the fork. Make sure the bolt is tightened securely.
10. Test the brakes to ensure they are working properly. The brake lever should move freely and the brakes should engage smoothly when applied.
If the brake caliper is still sticking after following these steps, you may need to take the Blaster to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
