I've got an '08 Fatboy, pretty much stock from the dealer (done some of the cosmetic things like sissy bar, fork bag, etc...) - always notices the when I'm in neutral in the garage (I'm sure it's not location, that's just where it noticable) and I'm pushing the bike - there's some resistance.
Never really thought about it much until we just bought my wife a "starter bike" ('98 Vulcan 800 - couldn't pass on the price)... when I bump her bike into neutral, it really is free-rolling... making me realize there really is a lot of drag on the Fatboy.
Put the Fatboy up on the lift last night and started spinning the rear wheel to confirm, and it's the rear brake that's dragging... doesn't seem like it fully releases (I can spin the wheel by hand, but if I give it a good spin it probably won't make much more than 1 revolution before it stops)... Any advice on adjustments to the rear brake pads?
Thanks,
Scott
