Default Re: Problem with GSXR front brakes.

rather than measure them, can't you just check them visually?

SV1000 discs are 310 and GSXR1000 are 320's

Assuming the wheel is rotating just fine to start with, fit the calipers with no pads. All still rotating properly? Yes - Fit the pads and check position, No - position the calipers properly with spacers if possible, fit the pads and check position.

If the bottom end all fits together nicely then you have a problem elsewhere.

If the discs came from preston then I'm relatively sure they came off a SV1000 hence 310mm.

It was the 650 that had a Gixxer front?

How recently did you get the wheel of Preston?
