I am with the frogman here. $35 is the going price for a good set of pads. Also, a stuck pad will cause thgis issue. May front caliper was cleaned and renewed in 2012. The beginning of this year the front brake started dragging. I had to remove the pad, clean the caliper ID where the pad resides, clean the perimeter of the pad, and reinstall with a very small amount of never-sieze around the inside edge of the caliper where the pad sits. Brakes no longer drag and work properly.

Oddly, the reason I parked my bike in 1988 was due to the front caliper seizing. Had I been clear on the cause back then, the bike would not of been parked.
