The wheel unless I bled off the pressure. you might open the bleeder valve slightly to see if it gets loose where wheel will spin freely. This test might tell you its the pressure not being released fully. Rusty caliper piston could also be a problem that is is not moving freely too. Good luck. Bill,. I just had this problem (pedals spinning forwards, cassette spinning, but wheel not moving) today, with a fairly new Mavic wheel freehub, and it was/is a COLD day.... and my pedals were to suddenly spin freely, it could be the death of me. Lots of washing, lots of light lube. Reply. Find. Reply. Joe_W Hall of Famer. Joined: Jul 2009. Posts. I recently ran over a nail and needed a new tire. I got the wheel off fine, but when replacing the wheel, two things have me a little unsure. First, If I torque the rear axle nut to 47lb/ft it will not spin very freely at all. If I back it off to about 38-39 or so it will feel tight, but spin freely as it should.

Step 1 - Put the Motorcycle in Position. Strap down the back of the bike to hold it in place then put the jack under the front frame of your motorcycle to lift the front wheel.

A motorcycle lift brings things up to body level, meaning you no longer have to stoop over when installing seats, handlebars, or anything else on top of the bike. Brake and Wheel Work: Brake and wheel work is a motorcycle lift's bread and butter: if a wheel can't spin freely, you simply can't work on it. Hydraulic hoses are more exposed.

How freely does your front wheel spin? | Adventure Rider.

Jan 13, 2015. #1. I just changed the chain and sprockets on my '02 YZ426F and the rear wheel doesn't spin so great with the bike on the stand. Maybe half a turn when I try to spin it by hand. The chain is within spec (while on the tighter side), axle is straight and the pads are dragging a little bit but not a lot. Clymer lists torque on the axle at 51-65 ft/lbs so they should be tight and the wheel will still spin freely if all is correct. A lot of guys make the mistake of having the tangs in the speedo drive not lined up correctly with the slots in the wheel. It causes the drive to not seat fully and it shows up right away when you try to tighten the axle.

Rear wheel especially may not spin freely when new, fresh grease in the freehub and bearings etc. the front wheel should be much freer, but again the bearings will be fully greased which does add a little drag it *is* possible that the bearings are a bit too tight, probably they will be cup and cone ones which are easily adjusted, but tbh.

Should front wheels freely turn when front is jacked?.

It is not dangerous, you just have a little bit stuck pistons. Remove brake pads. Pump pistons gently to brake disk. Remove one brake caliper. Wash pistons with dish washer and tooth brush. Push pistons back to caliper. Pump front brake to see if pistons move freely. Yes. stinkwheel wrote: Brake discs usually do bind slightly which would stop the wheel spinning freely. They shouldn't bind too much though. Agreed - If you spin the wheel hard - you should certainly get a lot more than 1 rev. This extra friction will slow you down, as well as overheat the brake components.

3 Answers Sorted by: 10 The most likely problem is that the brakes are rubbing. If you pick up the front of the bike, hold your head near the brakes and spin the wheel you shouldn't hear any noise from the brakes. If you do, then the brakes are rubbing and that's the first problem to be fixed.

Why does the Motorcycle does A Wheelie when you Clutch... - Physics Forums.

Yes, something isn't turning freely. It's either the front wheel, the back wheel, or the pedals and chain. Lift the bike off the ground and turn the front wheel by hand. If it doesn't turn very freely, it could be the hand-brake is dragging or the hub bearing is too tight. Try the back wheel in both directions. Now that they are back on the front wheel doesn#x27;t spin freely, basically the brake pads are rubbing a little. I used the suggested methods for tightening the inch bolts and axle bolts when putting it back tightening some, compressing the front shock, etc....

If the spacers were in wrong, I would think that both front calipers/pads would drag. Check the free movement of the wheel without calipers mounted. Then mount one at a time. Also check that the rotors still look true and not bent.

9,527. When installing the front wheel you need to compress the forks several times before tightening the last axle clamp. The procedure is covered in your riders manual and can be done at home with basic tools. I'm guessing the shop didn't do this last step. Lee.

T-CLOCK: A Motorcycle Safety Inspection Checklist.

I have problem with my new (to me)1974 HONDA CB350 Motorcycle bike. In neutral the rear wheel spins freely in the forward direction, but if I try to spin in reverse direction it either does not spin, is hard to spin, or spins briefly and stops abruptly. Seems to do better after I have ridden the bike. Any ideas on what is causing my problem.

Are you sure the sound is coming from the front wheel? put it on a front stand and spin it by hand, is it spinning freely? Is it making noise? if It only happeneds at high speed try doing a long wheelie, does the sound go away and come back when you set it down?.

How much disc brake drag is acceptable? - Car Talk Community.

After the install, I tried to spin the front wheel (with the bike on stand) and there was some drag. The wheel doesn't spin freely as it did before with the old brake pads...basically doesn't complete one full rotation when spun with hand. I checked the brake fluid level and it is between low and high, I removed the pads, cleaned the pistons.
