the new to me 85 250r, the caliper is sitting too far back from the linkage that bolts to the swing arm. I apply the brake and it doesn't move forward or backwards.
is it just crusted up? I took a rubber mallet and tapped the caliper with another hammer to try and get it to budge. it's just not moving and I don't want to hit it too hard.
when I sit on the back, the caliper will rotate with the axle. Just not by itself. am I missing something?
The e brake cable isn't hooked either because the whole caliper assembly needs to move forward. jim
