    Calipers tend to stick because of dirt thats collected in them being upfront and getting a lot of road water and road dirt on them.
    you would need to pull the caliper off and have it cleaned , maybe even have new piston seals replaced .

    if its a non digital speedo, the main cause is either the speedo drive hub that fits on the wheel or the cable has worn. those two tend to be them most common causes of a non digital speedo failing.

    And welcome to the scooter shack Anton

    I had a caliper that was fine cold and as I rode it got hotter and tighter. Within 5 miles it had seized tight. Previous post says it, full strip down of the calliper I'm afraid.
