Most likely it is the caliper. There have been a few of these that have locked up.

i think youre breaks might be broken. maybe you breaked to hard won thyme and now it wont unbrake.

you have two be careful their when you break as there parts are fragile.

If you use the rear a LOT for stopping, it really gets dirty fast and will need the piston cleaned... Just a guess but when it gets covered with brake dust, it really can start to stick.

look at your brake cylinder (rear), if they get wet the nissin cylinder will start corrode and it won´t release the brake!!

Check if you foot brake lever is loosen / if the cylinder is moving!!

I would crack the bleeder on the rear caliper open the next time the rear brake locks up. If that frees it up, you got a bad rear master cylinder. Very common problem on these.
Hopefully, you didn't smoke everything in the rear brakes like I had happen to mine. If so, you'll be replacing every component along with the master cylinder.

I rarely use the rear brake.. just enough so it gets "used" ever now and again.
