  • Brake Rotors?

    Are the right brake rotors for the front and back interchangable on a 81 MNS? I removed my when I had them powder coated and now the front right one rubs against the metal on the brakes, with the piston fully pushed in. So either they are different and I got them put on backwards or I've f@cked something else up. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Yes, they are interchangable. You might check how you put the front wheel back on.
    -Tighten the large axle nut then
    -move the other fork leg side to side until the rotor is centered then
    -tighten the two pinch nuts on the bottom of the fork leg.

    Some say the front and rear rotors are a different thickness. Could be but I haven't run into this.

      It's about a standard but you can see what I'm talking about and maybe get a few ideas.
      As far as I know the rotors are the same.
      There's always a way, figure it out.
