    Rear brakes locking up

    There is if quality control slips. ALL mechanical items are subject to quality control. ALL. My worn brake pads were the problem. I have contemplated purchasing a new caliper but changing the pads more frequently has alleviated the binding. I may have not worked as extensively on mc's as you...

    6000 mile service - gaps, plugs, a tip, thoughts etc.

    I can not see how a plug could loosen. They are held by the rubber spark plug boot of which can be rather difficult to remove from the spark plugs. I use anti-seize on my plugs and just snug them up. The last thing anybody wants are stripped threads. Lubrication will lessen the torque specs.
