looked at brakes today and I have plenty of pad left. The rotor is definitly glazed. So I'm guessing that's the problem.

I have done that also! I generally run the cheap ebay brakes, they wear out pretty fast but it is generally a good thing to take them apart and clean/grease regularly... I have a set of EBC's on mine now but will probably go back to the cheap'os when these wear out..

Well I pulled the brake pads and I lied. There are none left. I will order some today. How do you get the piston back ? With a clamp like on cars ?

Just read the manual and it says to losen bleed screw and turn piston clockwise until level with caliper. Then align groove with punch mark. What's that all about and is that the way you all do this ?

That's the way I do it! I just use a big screw driver and it spins in freely! I have changed mine 5 or 6 times...
