Front brakes... draggin

[kkattan]

Hello...

well i have had this problem forever.. since day 1.. taken into the dealer and he bleed the brakes.. same problem..

with the bike up on stands.. if i turn the front wheel.. you hear the brakes slightly grabbing.. its not like i cant turn them.. but you feel there is some resistance..

i cleaned the pads.. and sprayed the rotors.. any other suggestions.. pads still look like they have over half the meat left on em.. and they are not spunggie..

thanks.

I haven't seen very many bikes bikes that don't drag a tiny bit.  3 bikes in the garage and they all drag a little.

There will always be a slight drag on a disc brake system

they all drag....one reason they are partial floaters.
just keep the clean and they will treat you well.

thanks.

I'm affraid that crunk, crunk, sound may be something different.  Can you explain a little more in detail as to what that is or what you think it is and when it make that sound?

Shouldn't be a crunking sound. More a sssshhhh..

slight drag is normal any catching action there is something wrong

 

[kkattan]

just a slight drag.. but i can hear it dragging. not just feel it..

like kuckkkkkkk

 

[kkattan]

let me say this.. they are still the stock brakes (with still plenty of meat).. and i have 7K miles on it.. so  maybe not dragging any more than normal?
