    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

should my rear brakes drag slightly?

The stock Bandit caliper on my bandit swingarm fitted to my 80 gs 1100 appears to be dragging slightly. Caliper is rebuilt, pads are new.

What can I adjust to fix this?
 
slight drag is common with a rebuilt caliper and new pads, if the wheel turns reasonably easy by hand its ok. once ridden for a few times and everything beds in it will be fine
 
Hi,

Yep, mine have a little contact. The pads just touch the rotor, but not enough to cause any serious drag.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
To speed up the procsess I always took some emery cloth and scuffed up the rotor on both sides enough to get rid of the shine, this will also put a stop to that annoying squeal you get once and a while with your brakes.
