Title: Front brake caliper
Post by Justinmkantor on 09/21/08 at 23:57:57

Wanted to make sure my low mpg's are from carb issue which I know I have and not from a sticky front brake. I jacked up the bike and the wheel spins once and stops. When it says "to see if the caliper is sticky see if the wheel spins freely" like a bike tire or do you mean freely without grinding. How much spinning is good spinning? :-?

Watch the rotor edge. If its leaning back & forth, its warped. Does it "Oulse" useing the front brake?
I cant know how much OOOMPH you are using to spin it, but I would expect more than 1 turn.

Does it stop in the same place every time? Sign of warped rotor.
