Disk not aligned in the calipers
« on: July 01, 2009, 08:56:18 AM »
on my 77 750f I noticed yesterday that the 2 disks are not aligned in the calipers. Rubbing both the inner right sides. Does that just mean the wheel is not centered?

If both sides rub sounds more like calipers not fitted right
Semi Geriatric ex-Honda mechanic and MOT tester (UK version of annual inspection). Garage full of "projects" mostly 500/4 from pre 73 (no road tax in UK).

When I got my 75 CB750F the front disc was misaligned and rubbing on the fork leg because the axle was installed the wrong way in the wheel. I flipped the axle left to right and the misaligment was gone.
