Default Re: Burning Rubber smell + Poor free wheeling

When cold, you might find the bike hard to free-wheel in gear with the clutch in because of the clutch dragging a little (not quite completly lubricated plates). If its warm, it should be fine...unless your brakes are binding. Go for a ride, and afterwards check the disc's temp (just touch it). The discs should be reasonably cool, but you may find one is hotter than the other (if its the front brakes), which would indicate it is that caliper on that disc that is binding. Sometimes you can hear the pads dragging on the discs when you push it around aswell.
