Predator braking problems

[300EXrider02]

My friends predator's rear brake makes all these wierd noises, so we jacked it up and tried to rotate the tire, and the brake seemed like it was on, it would move but not freely, like something was holding it back, I think it is a defect on the predator...

anyone else have problems with the rear brake?:huh

theres no defect its the spacer in the brakes to keep the pads clean and dry yes they have a small drag on them but no worry if it concerns u that much remove the caliper and remove one spacer on one side and it should be much much better....theres a front brake defect the o ring on the calipers can swell and freeze the caliper piston therefore not retracting the brakes all the way and theres a big drag on them....bring it to the dealer and tell them its under warranty if anythings bad and may have an updated service fix...TLP
