1 Strange brake behavior? Wed Apr 24, 2013 7:58 am

This is in regards to a 1992 16v k100rs.
This is most noticeable while on a hill, thanks to gravity. Anyways, while stopped at idle, with the front brake applied, if I rev the bike mildly quickly up to around 3k, the brake lever will actually push itself out and stick there for a second before actually allowing me to pull it back in. The brakes release and everything. It's very odd. The same thing happens when I have the rear brake applied. The brake pedal will essentially push itself back up, release the brake, and stick there for a second before allowing me to push it back down.
If I rev it *slowly* up all the way to 7k-ish, the brakes remain unaffected.
I feel that this could be related to the ABS, but that is functioning normally as far as I can tell.
Any ideas?
