The problem is I've only had this busa a year. First time working the brakes. It is not something I noticed before. But might have missed it. But I yhink that was the side that had a roached bearing, and over worn pad. The wheel spins ok until things heat up.

Well, the rotor Is too far to the outside that's for sure. So I've given up thoughts about pads / pistons a long time ago. Some kind of spacing issue. The kick in the soft area is that it's only one side (the right, brake handle). I've been working on trying to get true dimensions of the wheel...

Yeah, I've checked the obvious. I'm at that point like when your looking for something. And find yourself looking in spaces in won't even fit.... I've even already thought of this too... The thing is that, you cant.. that would make them upside-down, or visually inside out. Thanks for giving...

Thanks. I really wish I could just delete THIS post.. It didn't seen to work, then it did twice FOREVER.

Yeah, I installed the rotors. Arashi ti fit that year. The spacers are part of the axle. Yeah, I did the Arashi rotors that fit that year. The spacing is determined by the axle. It only goes in from the right side. And the wheels look identical to my other busa wheels I've owned for years. I...

Everything stock I believe. Chrome wheels. Bought used. All I can explain is the rotor is up against a fully pushed in pistons/pads. Thanks ,have a good one.

2005 Hayabusa stock.. chrome wheels.. What appears OBVIOUS, as with a lot of things, requires closer look into. With both sides pistons pushed in completely, the rotor touches the outer pad. A large gap is in between pad and rotor on the other (inside). Also, if the rotor is up against pad...

Got the bike used. Seemed ok. Then bearing leaked rust. Pad on that side was worn to almost nothing. I assumed it was from the clunky bearing. New bearings seated. New rotors. Only one side is way off. Both sides of the wheel move together. So I don't know how but one side is wrong. I've never...

The pistons on the right have no where to go. They can't move left, because the rotor is there. Neither the caliper, OR the rotor move side to side on these bikes. That's the dilemma. ‍♂️

Bou Hay sorry, I should have been more Specific with what it is not. I am new at posting and didn't realize All the response I would get with the obvious. I know the pads and pistons are all very distracting. Even with the pistons in and the pads out the rotor almost touches the caliper...

The Not stuck, looking at it the rotor doesn't move left to right. So where would the piston push it?

Imagine no pads, and the pistons pushed all the way in flush. The roter would be almost a 1/4" too far to the outside. I've even realigned the forks. Didn't help. Definitely a spacing issue. Just can't figure it out. Mainly because it only one side...

Sorry, on the double posts. New to posting. I know the picture is distracting with some piston showing. But, If you imagine that side of piston all the way in, that would show yhe problem. The rotor and caliper are stationary. And the rotor, or caliper is way off. Nothing to do with piston...

I know this is a weird problem. At first it looks a piston problem. The calipers were rebuilt. The pistons all move freely. The caliper is just that far over.
