Hello.
I have a MT09 SP 2018 with just under 8,000 km on it.
Yesterday I changed the rear and front break pads from stock to EBC Double-H Sintered pads. No problem with the rear wheel after the pads were changed.
I do have a problem with the front after the pads changed. The wheel is difficult to rotate. That is it just doesn't rotate as free as when the old pads were in it. I have to use a bit of force to rotate the wheel. The calipers are spotless and pistons are about 95% clean.
I did notice when I pushed the pistons back with a spreader, on the right hand side caliper the pistons kept moving back out. Would the problem be to do with too much break fluid?
Lastly on the original front pads there is no backing plates. On the front EBC pads there is backing plates on the pads.
Any help or advice would be most welcome.
