I agree 100%. I get bikes in with the customer complaining about it. Your wheel should turmn freely. Anyone who says that this is normal either does not know what they are talking about, has to pay to fix it, or does not know how to fix it. If you are near Ft. Lauderdale, stop on in and I'll show you.

 

My 08 Ultra was doing the same thing, such a drag that it was even hard to push around in the garage. Between that and the constant squealing from the rear brake I finally replaced all the brake pads with Lyndall Z pads, now no squealing from the rear and way less drag on the front.

 

yep tried mine it spins freely i have a 2006 rg-safe riding

 

Mine is hard to puch around also.&nbsp\\; I think it is a master cyclinder problem.&nbsp\\; It is worse after a ride when everything is hot.

 

I can't check mine to see...the ole lady keeps dropping the front end of the bike before i can spin the wheel. bitching its too heavy.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; WTF???&nbsp\\; haha&nbsp\\; [sm=biker.gif]

 

And those Brembo brakes are a great "upgrade"......Why?

 

Brand-name recognition? I rode an 08 with them and thought they felt mushy and took more effort than what's on my 07.
