    85 250 r brakes sticking

    I just picked up a really clean 85 250r, as close to showroom condition as I have seen. Everything works but the suspension needs to be overhauled and the brakes drag. Is there a quick fix to get the brakes working, I really want to ride it this weekend not work on it. I have waited over a year to find one.

    The usual cause of sticking brakes is stuck caliper slide pins. They can usually be freed up witha little penetrating oil and some elbow grease.Be sure to re-lube them with a silicone grease when putting them back together. pm me if you have any trouble with them and I'll try to walk you through the job.
    If I can't fix it, it ain't broke!!
