Turbocharged
Disc brake pads always lightly rub on the rotor, but the rubbing shouldn't be to the point that you can't turn the wheel by hand. I suspect that's what's going on here and you don't have anything to be concerned about.Thanks for the info Warp and will do! Got a "Flipstand" on order as well as a RAMAIR. Todays quandry is why are my EBC Double H's dragging up front. Wish Triumph would have put a center stand on her so I can see if the front wheel spins freely. Not being to do that I'll ride her for a mile using the back brakes and see how hot the front rotor(s)get. Ahhhh....Triumph ownership....always something.
Thanks for all the wisdom guys!
Cheers...Greg
But if not and something's out of alignment, you may need to adjust according to the service manual:
- Release but don't remove the fork pinch bolts
- Leave the wheel spindle tightened (65 Nm)
- Check that the brake rotor is centrally located to the caliper on the left hand side. If not, apply gentle pressure to the fork to ensure the rotor is centered with the caliper.
- Maintaining that position, tighten the fork pinch bolts (22 Nm).
