I am guessing at the back brake because I just had the pads re-done on it. It is completely stuck on, however before I got the rear brakes done it would only stick sometimes but soon as I would get off the bike it would work fine (riding with friends they told me about it at the next stop then I would check and it was working fine then get back on the road to the next stop same comment but worked fine once I checked it). I only have about 6000 miles under my belt as a rider and all this past 3 months and at my MSF course my instructor mentioned to me I cover the rear brake too much so maybe I had been doing that again and made it stuck. Anyway I wanted to find out if anybody had seen this before and or if this is a common problem and how should I fix it or what should I look at? Maybe I'lll just take it back to the dealer and say this didn't happen until I got the rear brake done and suggest they fix it for nothing? I just don't have to time to take off to get up there during business hours. I know this is very unsafe and need to fix this ASAP. All response is appreciated. Thanks!!

Just guessing that one of the switches are stuck and needs to be cleaned. They are open to the elements.

Kroil works great and shouldn't harm anything
