I would say all the brake pads should be the same, not some lose, and some tight. It sounds a bit odd to me, but it is hard to say much without seeing it.

Take to the dealer, who should sort it out, or explain it. The bike will be under warranty, so it should not cost you anything.

@PsychManSean - our friend smijo is not drunk. He is a guy using English as a second language, struggling a bit but doing an OK job of communicating. It is something I deal with every day. Now it is time to get on with marking work written in English by Thai students.

To test if the brake is dragging, go up to highway speed and...

to test the rear, brake with only front to a stop, if rear rotor is hot then it means rear brake is dragging;

to test the front, brake with only rear to a stop, if front rotor is hot then front brake is dragging.

The brake pads are supposed to touch the rotor. You can try using brake cleaner. Try not to get the brake cleaner on the tire or plastics.
