My rear brake is binding slightly. I can move the wheel with light hand pressure but it doesn't spin freely like my other bikes and I can hear the pads rubbing. I have freed up the pistons and the seals/ grooves are all fine. I noticed when replacing the caliper that before the pad s were in there was a fair bit of movement possible of the caliper twisting/ rocking it between the pins ie not just the sliding along they are designed for. When the pads are in and up to the disc in the normal position it is still possible to detect some movement of the caliper twisting it on the pins it by hand. This doesn't seem right because every time the brakes are applied there is a slack to be taken up which would cause wear. the pins are like new but I am wondering if the caliper body internal bore has worn. There is no damage to the caliper pin boots. It would be strange to wear at such a low mileage 8k. Possibly an oem fault or since it was fine when new something in the mounting plate is out of alignment causing the caliper to wear prematurely. Can anyone else twist/rock their rear caliper? I am going to have the bike looked at by my dealer in 10 days but interested in views ahead of this .
