Having problems with my front brakes 82 gl1100 aspencade. When I use the front brake, it does not want to release. I have to crack the bleeder valve for them to open up. Cant figure it out. Please help, and thank you in advance.

It is most likely the return hole in the master cylinder. Mask off your painted areas to be sure no brake fluid will touch your paint. When you pop the top off and look down, you can just barely see the hole in the middle of the reservoir. To clear it, pull some fluid out down to the hole. Take one caliper off (doesn't matter which one) and using a disc pad spreader (or c-clamp) push the pistons all the way back in. It will push the fluid backwards and hopefully clear the return.

I would consider changing your brake fluid out and flush your system.
