new rotors and pads dragging

[bigt973]

Just put new BST wheels w/ Galfer pads and rotors on and the front is dragging. Both sides drag. I had the oem shims on the new pads so I took them off and it is not quite as bad but still seems to be tight. Bike is an 06 w/ 2000 miles.

I'm not a brake pro, but I recall somebody saying something about scrubbing them in properly after installation.

Somebody will respond soon...and welcome.

Yeah, without the shims it doesn't feel to bad. I think it might be ok after it's ridden.

All the parts are defective,send them to me!

I posted this in the wrong section. Thought I was in the General section.

Have you put any miles on them yet

 

[bigt973]

Haven't ridden it yet.

 

[BA BUSA]

Ride it a few miles and seat in the new pads

Thanks

I think your bike is broken, not sure. Send
your bike to me and I will test it for a few years
to make sure

Had same problem. After about 400miles
brakes stopped rubbing. Suzuki told me it
was because I put on the chrome rims did not belive them
but problem stopped
