Wait, so was the ABS/Servo actually causing the rear brake to drag? I think mine might be slightly dragging too? I don't think I'll remove the ABS system but Did you come across another fix?
Well, not COMPLETELY certain if that was the problem. The servo was working fine. I think there was just crud in the lines, keeping them from fully releasing. removing half of the lines, and flushing alleviated whatever the problem was.
also, detail cleaning my rear caliper, which also could have been the cuplrit.
Honestly, I was just weary of it. Really. It annoyed me that I didnt know they were linked....and having 4 brake lines when only 2 were necessary, meant double possibility of failure. And was a surprise when I went to bleed and flush. somehow, I managed to miss that bit of info about the brake and abs being on different circuits. I did not like that. sort of kneejerked and got rid of it, which I had been thinking about, after a couple of idiot lights and brake failure on cold mornings-(due to battery)
The ABS is a cool system, but the brakes are fantastic even without them. If they weren't linked..I would have kept it.
*take off reservoir cap beneath seat. push rear brake piston in, replace cap. go for a casual ride for about 10 minutes, do not use the rear brake! Also try to gingerly use the front. IF your rear is hotter than the front...you likely have that problem.
I just know that 3000 miles is not long enough for a good set of brake pads, and that's all I got, even less actually.
