front brake

[redimp45]

Has anyone else had this problem? when the bike has been stood still for a little while I have to pull it back shapely due to (I think) the front brake calliper sticking, there is a small clunk sound coming from the front wheel before it releases. Best just let the dealer have a look at it.

Yeah, it's just the brake pads sticking to the rotors, no big deal. My last bike did it as well. I think it's from parking the bike while the brakes are still warm.

Hi

Thanks. I will still pop the bike in and get some copper grease put on the pads.

Cant really grease the pads! Most likely its nothing to worry about, just like stated above, the pads are sticking to the rotors. Either from being warm and you grabbed the front brake when parking it, or moisture has started to form a very light layer of rust causing the pads to "stick" to the rotors. If you are not much of a mechanic, or really dont know what to look for, best to have someone look at it. I mean, it is your front brake!!! LOL
