Default please help asap. brakes.
My brakes sound like they are grinding a little, but i read on the ninja 250 site, that that is normal. but, the rear brake like wont dissengage. when it is on the center stand and i spin it, it sounds like the brake is engaged a little. what do I do?

Your brakes are supposed to have the slightest amount of drag to them. If your mechanic thinks it's too much drag, then he will adjust them out for you. Nothing to really worry too much about, but if you are concerned, go get it looked at. It should cost more than 40 bucks or so.

well the noise, feeling got worse, turns out i needed to lube the chain lol I figured that was it when I went to go get some lube. I think I need new front brakes though they look pretty thin and sound horrible.

There is no adjustment on hydraulic brakes.
