I have a 2002 GSXR 750, and it seems to have a lot of brake drag. It has Dunlop race pads on it, and had ebc prolite rotors. I am using Motul DOT 4 Fluid. There was major drag. I put the stock rotors back on, and it got a bit better, but it is still very bad. If you spin the wheel while it is on the front stand it will not even do a full rotation. I have tried bleeding the brakes and re-torqueing everything on the front end. This has not help. It has done this since I first got the bike. I can not seem to find a fix this problem. I have even rebuilt both calipers. Does anyone have any suggestions?

mines gotta lot of drag to, doesnt bother me, as long as it doen't lock up!!!Plus it makes your wheel stop faster in a good wheelie, you know, looks cool!!!!

Figure out if it's the right or left caliper by taking them off one at a time then spin the tire while on the stand. I made some shim washers for my RR. Had to shim a caliper then my wheele spun really well.

Thanks a lot!! It is the left side that is dragging. I had not thought of putting in a shim. I will give that a try.

Mine does the same thing, I've just been dealing with it because I don't have the money to replace it yet. Rotors are the least of my worries, tryin to keep the frame from cracking into pieces is the problem now.

Thanks for the help!! The shims worked. There is still a bit of drag there but I think that it will go away once the pads seat into there new position. I get one and a half to two revolution new. Thanks again!!
