Just put a new rear tire on and when reinstalling the pads I noticed the caliper seems loose with some up and down play on the rear mount.
Not sure if there should be play like this or not. My Kawi has some play in it too so I'm guessing this is not abnormal, but figured I'd ask folks with more experience than I have. The plastic cap covering the retaining pin is missing as I hadn't put it back on yet. This was before I pumped the brakes a few times to ensure the pistons were out and the pads seated. I took it for a short ride and the rear brake feels normal.
