Hi, hopefully someone may be able to help.
I have a V7 SE 2018.
Today I reset the rear brake light adjuster as the brake light was constantly on.
I removed the 4 allen bolts to take off the assembly so I was able to get to the adjustment,as it was in a difficult position.
I didn't undo any of the hydrolics at all.
Obviously, during the process of adjustment I pumped the brake plenty of times.
After re assembly I ride for approximately 5 mins, then the back brake completely locked, the back wheel was solid ,along with the brake pedal.
After around ,30 mins by the roadside after it had cooled, the wheel became free
But the brake pedal now has nothing going on, no resistance, and it doesn't work the rear brake.
I've just got home before dark, so I haven't done anything more.
I am not a mechanic, so I'm completely baffled, has anyone got any ideas please

I might be able to pop round and see if I can help you sometime. Please get in touch via here, privately.
 
The brake pedal must return enough to open the return port at the master cylinder. Somehow in your adjustments you prevented that return. You are now looking at replacing the master cylinder, rear rotor, rear brake pads and probably the rear caliper.
