2002 R1 front end with standard wheel and calipers alignment issue

[nickodemon]

I noticed the calipers were slightly touching the discs when rotating the front wheel, so i swapped calipers with the other fazer in the garage which worked perfectly. Once i changed them over i got exactly the same issue and when i put what i thought were sticking on the other bike they work perfectly, so i want to know if there are meant to be thin spacers fitted when you fit standard wheel and discs onto a 2002 R1 front end... Also how do you know if they are sitting centre of the disc? Thoughts welcome

I used the Fazer front wheel and spacers with the 5PW forks and the original Fazer calipers.  No alignment issues, Nick, and no need to mess around with additional shims.

Not sure what to suggest other than to check the part numbers of your calipers, axle, wheel and spacers.

Odd it is.

Straight fit Fazer Front wheel, discs, spindle and spacers into early R1 forks on my conversion, with R1 Lower yoke.

I think it may have been contamination of the brake pads. I cleaned them and then drove about with the front brake gently applied. It seems to be fine now, but i will check in the next few days to make sure.
