it seems like the front brakes stick slightly but only when I use the hand brake. it does not seem to stick with foot brakes.
when I roll forward some they seem to release----any suggestions.
pads and rotors look ok.

AFAICT, the valkyrie doesn't have linked brakes.

probably a good cleaning of the calipers is in order. Also new fluids. (Savago is correct, we don’t have integrated brakes)

The Valk I got last year had dragging brakes. I bought pistons, seals and rebuilt them. Still dragging. Took the rt caliper apart and found corrosion in the bottom of the seal groove. Scraped that out and haven't had any more issues.

Ya, what sandy said.  cooldude

There's a lot of crude build up in the seal groves ya gotta scrape out before putting in the new seals
