If memory serves, that's a known fault. I had it on one of my Force HRD's. A LBS got it sorted for free. Though they wouldn't touch the one not showing symptom, so I'm expecting it to suffer too at some point.

I never got to the bottom of what caused the problem, but think it is lever related. You can get lever inner kits.

It's down to the bleed, there's no return spring so it relies on the pressure in the system to return the lever to it's normal point, probably got some air or dirt in the hose.

could also be the start of sticky lever piston, but that tends to be the lever goes floppy after its applied. I had to change on my Force levers think i ordered this part
