Hello fellow STers,
I have been having issues with my rear brakes dragging, and eating pads. I have pulled apart and cleaned the secondary master cylinder, flushed/bled out the brakes, pulled the rear caliper and cleaned/lubed all the slide points. Issue comes and goes as it pleases. Brakes ok when driving, once in while I can feel some sticking when rolling up to a stop, but not bad, but sometimes I cannot back the bike up at all. This usually happens when the bike is cold, like in the morning when I want to head out for a ride. I would welcome any suggestions, and if anyone knows a good source for either a new secondary master, ( I know I can get used on Ebay, prefer new, if available.), or a rebuild kit, and also for the rear caliper, a new unit, or a rebuild kit. I have not called the dealer yet, figured would ask the group first, you all are a better source of info than some kid who rides crotch rockets behind the parts counter at the local Honda dealer. I just went Darkside CT on rear also, with a rear MC on front, and want to ride, but this dragging %&^$# is not doing my rotor any good, want this problem gone, for safety, and sanity reasons. Any advice and parts info is appreciated!
