Replaced the front tire and reinstalled the wheel on my '05 ST. Now that I've got it reinstalled, that paranoid voice in my head has me wondering if the front wheel is spinning as freely as it should. I'm pretty sure I have the collars/spacers installed correctly on each side and the axle nut torqued to 58 lb. The wheel spins very freely without the brake pads installed. After reinstalling the brake pads, there is a good bit of pad-to-rotor contact. I know that contact is normal, but just how much?
I know I should have noted how much wheel spin I had before I removed the front wheel, but I failed to note that. Now, a fairly vigorous spin of the wheel generates two revolutions. It takes considerable effort to get three revolutions out of it. I know those aren't very scientific measurements, but I was wondering if anybody else can confirm that is in the range of "normal."
