Locking up a rear caliper is easy enough of course.  But it's still not something you don't do with "light pressure."  Pick up a caliper rebuild kit and start there.

How many miles are on the bike? Have you checked the rear pads? Have you checked tire pressures? If all these are OK go back to step one as Twolane described!

And then bring it across to MD and Mike will help you put the kit in.  He even has beer in the fridge in the shop!
