it's '83 CB750SC, so i guess it's DOHC (if we'er talking about the same thing), two calipers on two break discs.
i don't understand what "dead pad set too tight" means

thanks anyway!
The dead pad remark only applies to SOHC bikes.If you had one,you would be very familiar with it!

Disc brakes do have some constant tension on them,like pat said,but your wheel should spin some after you give it a good fling.Not sure you could get a full revolution out of it or not,though. I'm not up on the DOHC brakes,so I cant help.Just wanted to let you know you dont need to worry about the dead pad . Good luck,sorry i cant help.
