I'm having the same issue. Sometimes if none of the suggestions from other posters work, have the rotor at a machine shop and put in new pads. I'm about to go that route myself.

When u do put them on. Sand the rotors lightly just by spinning by hand. Just enough to get old brake material off Not to even out rotors.... Than don't sand them again. Some of the brake material from the new pads needs to be on the rotors . So try not to clean the off to good after install.... Wash ok. But don't scrub them later on
U WILL notice a big difference in stopping power.

$69.99 shipped for 2 sets from OEM Cycles. Not bad! Called my local shop and they only had one set in stock and they were $49.95 plus tax.

Put a Ride to Live badge on the caliper, that should help.

Sorry - I couldn't help myself.

I've had to completely disassemble and clean calipers & pistons before, because they were binding. Lube like Unk said.

EBC work for me..

OK will do. If these do the trick, I'll get a set for the rear. My rear brakes are pretty ineffective as they are.
