Noticed today that the front brakepads are touching the brakedisc all the time on my Kymco Super 8. When I spin the wheel by hand you can see that it stops rather quickly and you can also hear the pads touching the disc.
Is it possible to adjust this in any way? Are there screws on the brake caliper that I can turn so that the be brakepads gets further from the brakedisc?

There are no adjustments. Sounds like the piston in the caliper is sticking or caliper is not "sliding" on the two pins that attaches it to the forks. Sometimes the rubber boots on the pins dry up and crack and water gets inside and rust things up. Might be worth tearing down and cleaning.
