Stupid Noob question of the day

[TimLaw]

We got to brand new '14's a few weeks ago and both have nearly 500 miles on them.

I've noticed that when on the center stand and moving the back tire, it drags a little...like on the brake shoes. Wondering if this is normal since they are new, or do I have do defective bikes?

Normal. If you can just spin the wheels by hand, no problem. Disc brakes almost always drag a little, even on my mountainbike and I can hardly feel it while riding. Enjoy your bikes. S10 is an awesome bike, great choice!

Mine does that too, it's a combination of the pads slightly rubbing and the drag of the bevelbox of the shaft drive. My former Guzzi Stelvio was the same.

It maybe drag from shaft too.

All of the 30+ disc brake motorcycles I'ved owned always had some brake drag… Even my "exotic" TZ250 race bike...

Or never! There's so much to learn about motorcycling... Still learning each ride or maintenance session!
