Check the little black caps under the throttle bodies.. If these are perished and cracked, or missing it will run rough

Engine case Cap screws

I don't think any fluid returns. You release the pressure and the pads release the grip on the disk. No pressure no braking effect although the pads will probably be in contact with the disk to some small degree........ Maybe What would happen, even in the short term, if the hole was blocked?

Had to bite the bullet in the end. As it was a pleasant day I took a bimble over to Pidcocks. "Two of those injector rubber bung things, my good man" I said. After scratching his budding beard and twitching his pipe to the computer screen, he said "only got one on stock, I can get you...

By a similar logic to your butterfly thang, Since the piston is attached to the crankshaft the crankshaft must have stopped frozen for an instant. But then the crankshaft is moving the bike, so the bike must have stopped dead. You are sat on the bike..... Should I open another beer or call it quits...
