Re: Bing 40mm Overfilling

The first thing I would check is to make sure there isn't a bit of debris keeping the needle and seat from closing properly.

Re: Dragging front brake

When you have the master apart pay close attention to the bore way down there in the area when the fluid is compressed, if you see any pitting then having the unit resleeved is a good option.
