I think I figured out why my Kodiak is eating rear brakes. It appears that the rear caliper is not releasing, therefore the rear brakes are always applied somewhat. The question is what causes this and is there something I can do to fix it other than replacing the caliper?
on mine i put an extra spring on the return mech, so now i have two springs holding it in the released position, does your's have rear disc brakes if yes then that won't work

Yeah, mine has disc brakes on the back, but just on one side.
Take you caliper off and clean it very good.More than likely it has mud and buildup in it and the pistons wont release.Crack the bleeder valve open a little bit and that will help compress the pistons back into place also.
