  • front brake dragging

    I changed my tires last week and when I put the front wheel back on, the front brake was dragging. I've never had this before - I rebuilt the front master cylinder and calipers and have installed a new stainless line. It seems to me that the piston isn't returning - is this the dreaded "spooge hole" scenario?? How can I diagnose?

    The other thing I noticed when I put wheel back on was there is a slight gap (1/16") between the wheel hub and the fork connection. Is this normal or should it be tight up to each fork connection?

    Had the very same problem, see my post http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread...&threadid=4013
    There's always a way, figure it out.

      Make sure to re-install in the correct sequence as per the manual.
