Hi all!
Trying to figure out a potential problem on the rear of my 2007 FZ6 and was wondering how many rotations you get on the rear wheel when spinning it with your hand while on the center stand?
I think I have a sticking caliper because my rear rotor gets hot with minimal use so I bought new seals. I was planning on changing the seals (still plan to) and spun the wheel with the caliper mounted and compared it with the caliper dismounted from the bike and I get 3/4 of a turn. This leads me to believe the caliper might be fine and maybe it's just drag from the chain. I searched through the boards and they mention the same things but no specific number of rotations for the rear wheel. I'm assuming the rotations will vary but 3/4 of a turn seems very little.
If you can check and let me know how many rotations you get, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks!
