Default Predator front brake

Hey i have a 2003 predator 500 and the brakes wont back off after you squeeze the brake lever. I've had it in the shop for this and there was supposed to have been a recall but the shop says they fixed it but once i get it home it sticks again any ideas. I ride in the sand 90% of the time and this is pissing me off so any help would be great.

Recall if I remember correctly involved just a new brake line support bracket which shouldnt have any thing to do with your problem? If brakes are sticking could be caliper brackets might be dry and sticking,you might try to pull pads off and pulling caliper brackets and greasing,If this doesnt help,could be piston sticking because of grit.Or even piston sticking in master cylinder(rebuild kits are available)

Sorry i already took them both apart and cleaned everything and put it back together and didn't help any and usually when i had a brake piston stick it was one or the other not both at the same time and i bought the bike new and has done this ever sense i got it i've bled the lines everything just don't understand and my guy at the dealership said he doesn't know either thought someone out there might have the same problem and have fixed theres. The recall was for a bracket and sticking brakes and they told me that all they did was to rebleed the lines thats what the factory told them to do and this is a very popular polaris dealer so i dont know what i'm going to do thought about yanking the front brakes off just to ride in the sand, b/c i'm not the one who rides it its my wifes and i hear about it everytime she gets stuck so if i take the front brakes off then i can bump her life insurance up.
