I was getting a noise from one of the front wheels and when I checked it out I found the hub nut loose.I tighten and went to take it for a test drive around the block .Hit the brakes and nothing, luckily the hand brake worked.
Now if I pump the brakes they come up but as soon as I release the pressure they're gone again.I tried bleeding, the brake cyclinders and hoses were new 6 months ago,a new kit put in the MC about 12 months ago and I can't see any leaks.
Coincidence or did I accidentally do something when I tightened the nut.

do you have discs or drums??? did you check the brake lines? may have cracked or split a line from the loose nut.
