I'm going to disassemble and clean my brake calipers and master cylinder, see if that helps. Just when I thought I was finally finished with this thing...


See, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but if you had to use a different spacer, that tells me that the width is different...:idk: No wait... maybe the width is different between the SV and the GSXR but everything else lines up... hmmm. When you put the bike on a front stand, does the wheel turn freely? No offense, btw. You should be able to see a difference in space between "inside and outside". I'm suspicious because another person seems to have your same problem on your forum.

Disc brakes are supposed to take up the slack of new or worn pads. The O-ring in the caliper, which is actually square-edged, moves the pads away from the rotor. Either it ain't doing it's job, or the piston and or the bore is pitted so the piston can't withdraw. Have you done a good bleeding?

That's a good point but the problem would have been the same with the old set-up right?:idk:
