Hold up... if the tech overtightened something on the wheels to the point of lock up, then yes, find a new tech/shop/dealer. I am honestly giving someone the benefit of the doubt here. If it was that way before hand or some something is not right/bent/tweaked ect... that we don't know about, then we can't rush to say he is full of bologna. I am interested to know more about that part.

So after my normal homework and way of helping people.... Is this related to your other thread about getting a new front tire installed? If the bike has been down before, and this may be the first time a new front is installed, maybe the installer found your forks are not in alignment. This misalignment along with high torque values would explain why the front brake would drag and cause your front wheel not to spin freely.

Let us know or feel free to take some pics and maybe we can help you out in a better way.
