Nice looking scoot there, Ljay.

Anybody ever tell you you've got your front rotors mixed up?

Darn, Ken,

You beat me to it, but as I remember it's merely a cosmetic thing, the brakes will still shed water from the slot even though it's backwards.

Ljay, great looking machine, Xspecially for the price!! Enjoy and ride safely, but have fun!!

"Anybody ever tell you you've got your front rotors mixed up? "

Ok Confusion setting in,
I have never taken off the rotors myself I guess the PO did at one time perhaps I never knew him,could it be I have the tire on backwards,naw that can't be so then the speedo tangs would not be right,So recommendations to fix this problem. Do I have to exchange the right side of the life side or vice versa Or do I just flip the rotors over and bolt them back on?
I do have a noise coming from my front brakes kinda sounds like loose brake pads rubbing although (the pads are new)as the wheel rolls over .
They make a rubbing sound a gentle one finger resting on brake lever makes it go away,are there shims supposed to be in there?
If so I'm going to have to find some,because there were none when I replaced brake pads The front brakes work really well for stopping just has that kinda rubing whirring noise at coasting speeds just curious anyhow.Or can this be the rotors
I would have never noticed til you all said something
you guys just amaze me hahahaa

.. nice bike! good job man
if your front brakes make a large squeeling sound when you apply them, i would switch them.
the brake swishing sound is normal. just ride man! it dont look like there is much time left for you, before summer is over.
