front .brake drags when backing bike up (Read 102 times)

vargas Junior Member Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 70	front .brake drags when backing bike up 02/10/09 at 06:18:31 it's an 08 s40. It's done this since it was new. Doesn't make any noise going forward that I can tell, but it is rubbing when i back it into the garage. Is this an issue for a warranty repair?

Hearing it would be normal, it's not used to going that way.

Re: front .brake drags when backing bike up Reply #4 - 02/10/09 at 11:56:18 If the sound is constant & light, then its okay & the rotor is straight. You can grab the calliper & shove it & pull on it & make sure its free on its guides. Remember to set the brake pads back against the rotor or the first time you hit the brakes you might be disappointed.

I was thinking a bearing or something, but it never did it while going forward. Again, a good bit of news. Mike

Never gave it much thought, as it didn't do it when rolling forward.
