the last 2 times i have gone riding, i'll ride for an hour or so, then all of a sudden my rear brake starts to lock up. If I let it sit for awhile, it cools down and loosens up. I have changed the brake fluid, and it still does it. You guys think synthetic fluid will help. i checked and the caliper doesn't to seem to be hanging up. It really happens when i get done practicing wheelies. Any help would be great. Thanx.

Make sure your disk isn't warped. If it gets hot it could warp more causing the extra drag.

Just the first thing that came to my mind.

yeah, that's a good start and if the rotor is fine, pull your calipor off the bike and clean it up. are you pins and bolts rust?

i had this happen to my sons 300. it was the master cylinder. it was full of rust and dirt. i took it a part and cleaned it real good and solved the problem.
