I suspect the front discs on my bike are binding a little, when the front wheel is jacked up of the ground I am lucky to get 1 and 1/2 spins out of the front wheel, I replaced the pads 500km ago and it seems to have got worse since then, I have replaced the brake fluid, as I was told air/water in the fluid can expand & cause pressure in the lines, I also removed the pads cleaned up and sprayed a little CRC on the calipers / pots as I was advised these may cause sticking,improved a little, I can now get 1,1/2-2 spins max.
I am worried this is too tight and causing excessive fuel consumption or excessive wear, Any ideas how to free up the wheel, eg my mate gets 5 spins easily. Any ideas
