Subject:      Dragging caliphers on  my 85 ??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Can someone with knowledge about the brake systems on an 85 Westy help me? My
problem is there is squeak from the front brakes like the pad is dragging
slightly on the rotor. You hear it a low speeds but I 'm sure it's there at
higher speeds but you just can't hear it above the road and engine noise.
When I tap the brake pedal it goes away for a short time but returns and when
I turn into a curve in the road it seems to let up a little. Any ideas would
be appreciated. Thanks
Spencer
