I got my Dakar back from the dealer after they replaced the punctured fuel tank, and renewed fork oil/seals.

Now, often (not always) I hear a heavy scraping sound from the rear, and now that I've managed to check the wheel on the centre stand, it seems that the back brake is binding. Is this the brake piston(s) binding? Do they sometimes do this in an intermittent fashion?

Or did the mechanic stuff something up while refitting the rear wheel (I assume he had to remove that to replace a fuel tank).

Thanks  :thumleft:
