Author Message   Jrr Posted on Monday, July 05, 2004 - 10:33 pm:        My front pads are dragging a bit. Is this an easy adjustment or should i take it to the service department. I just past the 500 mile break in and am looking forward to getting over 3500 rpm...but am a bit concerned about the scraping front brake.   420at145mph Posted on Monday, July 05, 2004 - 11:30 pm:        is it just when ur pushing it around? thats normal i think ive heard about it from alot of people here my front brake kinda drags when just pushing the bike too edited by 420at145mph on July 05, 2004   Jrr Posted on Monday, July 05, 2004 - 11:36 pm:        I only notice it when i am pushing. The first 450 miles it did not drag, just started.   420at145mph Posted on Monday, July 05, 2004 - 11:38 pm:        its normal ive read it on this board alot mine does it too   Darthane Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2004 - 04:51 am:        Donnie's correct - a small amount of drag is normal. It's usually just a light scraping sound noticable when pushing the bike around. If you can actually FEEL it binding, that would be a problem.   Fullpower Posted on Wednesday, July 07, 2004 - 11:10 pm:        there is no adjustment. if the brakes are dragging, then you have a stuck piston, and need to overhaul the caliper.
