ok fellas i have a drama with my rear brake dragging
ie it is applied without me using the rear brake pedal
i have pulled the caliper off and removed the pads
the caliper does retract when the brake is applied the released as it should
and moves freely and i can push it back into the caliper with my hands
also re-lubed the caliper bolts that it slides on
the disc is not warped as far as i can tell
ie no brake lever pulsating when applying rear brake
i have looked at the caliper when on the bike and applied the rear brake
u can see the piston move and apply pressure to the pads
then it retracts
but for some reason the pads are not moving back with the piston?
i thought it may have been the hole where the locating pin goes as it was oval shaped but new pads are the same
will put them in tomoz to see if that helps but i doubt it will fix my drama
any ideas??
as this is causing rathign **** fuel econ and poor accel as you may imagine
