[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1229246, member: 68872"] You really need to get a manual for your bike and see what it says. I had the opportunity recently to inspect another bike's rear wheel caliper. I was a bit surprised at the fact that the entire caliper was "floating" on the pins/bolts that hold it to the axle/mounting plate. I am used to the brake pads floating on pins inside the caliper but not the entire caliper floating on pins. I suspect that they do this to allow the caliper to follow a warped/bent rotor. So, by existance proof having the caliper free to move some amount could be normal. The question is if it is normal for your bike, and if so what the limits are. I would expect a decent manual to tell you that. If the amount of movement is excessive then I would think that the pins/bolts that the caliper ride on need to be replaced. I would not expect them to be very expensive and should be easy to change. Get a manual. Rod [/QUOTE]
