I just got my FZR conversion done and I am getting some residual braking force on the R6 calipers while I am riding. They are nice and stiff when braking, they just don't let off completely. It makes it hard to push it around the driveway.

Any ideas? I just tried to measure the runout on the rotors, which I suspected was out, but I couldn't get a good measurement on it by just lifting the front end off the ground because the brakes were holding on too hard.

Any ideas?
