  • Front rotor scraping Fork

    Hey Guys - 79 xs11 SF

    My right side rotor is rubbing against the fork (see image 1) - can I just loosen the pincher bolt on the bottom of the right side fork (see image 2), tap it over a little and then retighten or do I need to take the whole thing down and realign?

    Just read this thread, which I think answers my question - glad I'm not the only one who has had an issue like this: http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...ferrerid=18887

      It's a slight flaw in the machining in the special fork lowers. That right side needs to be centered manually.
