- All seems fine although may be best to remove the fairing to check properly.
- I spin the wheel I can see the hub around the rh oil seal at the axle moving up and down.
- There is no nedas you can flex the arm down so the rubber is always pressign against the fairing.
- It is difficult to visualise what your describing, but I assume your talking about the front disc carrier that the disk is mounted to? Those are bolted to the wheel, so do not move at all. These usual have tight tolerances, even cheap EBC ones. So if your seeing the center hole of the carrier is out of center you need to stop riding the bike and get them replaced asap. Can you post photos of the item yoiur refering to and where the 'out of true' is..?
Yeah, I'll take a video and post it.
If I give an idea of the history of the bike I think it will help here.
Its a 2005 model that I bought the bike when it was 18 months old and hadn't been modified then (to the best of my knowledge) and has been left stock since.
It had 5k miles when I bought it and has 11k now ( I know, I know).
The discs are original, as are the brake pads.
That applies to everything else. The only thing that's been replaced are tyres and obviously oils and fluids.
It's been Ivanised.
The only other thing worth mentioning is that I was planning to have a look at the fork bushes about 2 years ago and failed miserably so had a bike shop have a look. They said all was OK and reassembled them and put new oil in there. That's the only unknown for me and as they were quite dismissive of me wanting to check the bearing surfaces they probably just put new oil in there. I'm going to have another look and replace the fork oil over the winter.
I've just checked the front wheel bearings and there is no play. The wheel rotates smoothly with no noise. I've had the wheel out and I can't discern any roughness. The only thing that surprised me was how the bearing resistance seemed a little more than I expected. I have to really stuff my index finger in there to be able to rotate it. Again there's no roughness just a little stiction. Certainly not like the worn bearings you see on Youtube.
The axle has very very light polishing at one bearing point but certainly no material removed, only the coating.
I'm beginning to feel paranoid that I'm being paranoid.
