Check first that you have good pads and are not worn down.This can cause a caliper piston to extend a little too far and stick.That along with cleaning the rotors if needed. If the pad surfaces are good,then mud,dirt can cause the caliper pistons to stick. You may have to remove them and see if the pistons will pry back into the caliper bore, then remove the caliper slides and grease them.My on this,if you have to go this far just replace the pads while you're at it. Install the calipers back on and flush and bleed the system.If you notice any leaking/oily residue around the pistons,then possibly you need new caliper seal kits. No adjustment on the front or rear caliper(just set screws you remove to replace the pads) Might have a slack adjustment on the rear foot brake linkage to the small master cylinder,but can't remember off hand.
