My '79, I've had to knock them down twice already.
For some reason, dusty gravel roads seem to put a fine grit
around the pistons.

They then get tight, squeal a bit and start to drag.

Which is kinda dangerous when turning.

I had a front washout on a Kawasaki Mach 3,
back in High School, because I was too lazy to
clean the front brakes.
They were dragging, I was pushing it, and that tight hairpin 300 yards from my driveway got me.

Knock'em down, clean everything, if the pistons aren't rusty, I'd reassemble and see what's up.
