So I have replaced the rotors pads calibers brake hoses the rubber ones also the master cylinder a number of times and I am still having the same problem any help would be great if you can help me out here only thing left for me to change is the combination valve also none of the lights are on no abs light and no brake light are on.

Yes very weird lol been dealing with this for a few years now has great pressure on the right side but it don't want to release right. At first I thought maybe it was the rubber line on that side collapsing on its self so I replaced it and still does it. Now when I put on new pads rotor and caliber it does OK for a very short time maybe a week or so then back to the samething

That many in a row? If so, I think I would recommend you buy a lottery ticket.......
If you can just pump the brakes a couple time, and make the caliper lock up....... Think I would yank that wheel, pump up the brakes, crack the bleeder. If the brakes release, pump them up again, and crack the line where the hard line meets the soft line. (up on the frame) and see if it breaks loose..... and just keep working my way back toward the M/C, see where it STOPS releasing the pressure, and you found your suspect component.
Calipers rarely fail.... I have replaced them due to other problems though.... (seized bleeder valves, messed up mounts or guides, etc.) But I think I can count the number of 'seized piston' replacements on one hand. (and I have been doing this a LONG time..... )
