[QUOTE=keithy2;211234]Hi I have just checked mine and the brake pad carrier is very close to the inside edge of the disc on the right hand side of the bike when sat on it. I was very careful not to put the wheel on the wrong way round when i changed tyres.

Problem sorted took the wheel off the clutch lever side spacer has a flange on it and is 27.5 mm long and has a corresponding deeper pocket to accomodate it. the other side is 17.5 mm long, so it is virtualy impossible to put them on the wrong way round and not notice it, if you do the front axel would protrude out of the fork leg and the brake discs probly wont align. I went to the dealers and confirmed this by checking on a new bike in the show room. My problem was solved by tightening the axel and then tapping the fork leg inwards to create a gap between the disc and caliper THEN tightening up the pinch bolts to maintain the gap. Now the clutch lever side disc is central in the caliper and the pinch bolt side has a 1 mm gap between the disc and caliper, the brand new bike had a larger gap but was still not central on the same side. All pin sliders and pistons are moving and the wheel spins freely. This is a 2014 tenere, the 2008 and 2009 have different forks with no adjustment for preload.

On your bike as the brake calipers slide freely the only other thing could be stuck pistons.
