Default Brakes dragging?
Ive noticed when my bike is off (cause thats the only time its quiet), if i go to roll my bike it kinda sounds like the brakes are dragging a little bit. Is it normal? How should i go about adjusting them?

is it normal even to the point that the rotor is hot to touch after a ride, my 07 superglide gets hot enough that you can't hold on to the rotor

Dealer said make sure not riding brake and that I'm sure of. Just seems brake pads would wear a bit prematurly if they drag that much Only rear brake front is fine

My front brake drags just a little. Rear brake is fine. Others have told me that it is normal and that my brake was actually quiet. My other bikes did the same thing so I am not worried about it.
