Hi I have brake drag issues
I have a new, used Kawasaki Vulcan 700. From time to time the front brake drags. I'm guessing its a sticking piston or something. For example, I might go for a ride and for the first couple miles it rides normal. Then for the next couple miles it drags again. By the time I get it parked it might not be dragging again. This is very annoying. What is my best bet to get this fixed? Thanks

Cant help myself, but try the search engine for the forum. If still no luck try posting in the Kawasaki section. Good Luck

Re: Hi I have brake drag issues
Try cleaning the calipers. There could be some crud that's preventing the piston(s) from fully retracting...
