That make the most sense of all the possibilities that occurred to me. It released as if something was involved(stuck) in it. I was unsure about the rubber cover over the spring. Either way the cover was not staying put the whole length of the spring. The cover is gone now.

It's a design flaw as the way Kawi designed the brake lever something can get stuck between it and the bike.
He fitted a small flap to prevent stones getting in there.
I'll see if I can find some more info.
