Oh, come on! My Brakes Are Locked Up!

I went the very short distance (about 2 blocks) from our community pool to our house, and I noticed when releasing the throttle it slowed down extremely quickly!

At idle speed & stopped, I tried to rock back or forth & it didn't budge. Pulled in our nearby inclined driveway & it stopped and didn't roll back w/o even putting on parking brake! I touched all three rotors after a mere 2 block trek, and they were all burning HOT!!! - WTF???

That's weird! I checked it again after it sat for about an hour, and everything back to normal! Went for an even longer spin, and rotors were ice cold after.

That's weird, there was a guy on another forum with the same problem.

My 900 slows down pretty quickly when I let off the throttle, but I think that is normal. I have no problem pushing the Ryker by hand, which I figure I wouldn't be able to do if the brakes were engaging. Maybe your Ryker did not roll b/c of the Hill Hold Control? Page 35 of the Owner Manual covers HHC.

Weird! Several trips since my brakes were dragging, and no problem since! Something just to keep an eye on, I guess.
