brakes dragging? 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Well guys here I am again with another problem 800 miles from home. Today it seems like my brakes locked up or was dragging after a 150 mile ride, tmp in the hi 90s. This started at the end of the ride and here are the symptoms. starting from stop light when changing from 1st to 2nd it seemed that the bike was dragging, hard pulling, when I got to 3rd it seemed to clear up, it did the same thing at the next light. I pulled over and checked the brakes, actually took all the pads off and checked the pistons, which seemed to be working properly, I then bled the brakes both front and back. It seems to have cleared up for an 8 mile ride to where I am staying.
small note here, I called the local yamaha dealer and asked to have the bike towed in for service and check out, they left me waiting for 1 1/2 hours and called back to inform me that they didn't have any one to tow me and probably couldn't look at it until next tuesday ( I explained at the start that I was from out of town and needed to travel this weekend). This don't say much for yamaha dealers to me
