No, it's not frozen. The two "springs" that "center" the non-pressured pad on the disk move freely, not easily, but freely. And the pistons move easily with firm thumb pressure. The pin the pads "slide" on is clean.
This is not Brembo's best design - pistons on one side and "springs" that center the non-pressured pad on the disk. I'm beginning to wonder if this is a fluid level thing. Later today I will drain the master cylinder to half-way between the min and max marks. That will ensure the pistons can withdraw slightly after use. With the level at full I'm not sure the pistons can withdraw easily after use.
Now that's my current theory. I'll have 50 miles or so on the bike by this afternoon. I'll give things a look-see then.
