Hello, I am the proud owner of a 2006 CBR 600 F4i a beautiful bike that I love with all my heart. I recently bought a rear swingarm stand and whenever i put it on the stand and try to move the bike tire (bike in neutral and off( it takes a good amount of force for the back tire to spin properly. Wondering if anyone has any advice.

 

Start by taking things that can drag out of the equation.

Remove the caliper from the rotor, then spin again. Next, take the chain off the rear sprocket. If it still doesn't spin well, the the problem will be in the wheel or carrier bearings. That's all assuming that your spacers are in correctly.

 

So how could it be the wheel? It holds air and isn't messed up in any way I'm gonna take the caliper off and get back to you thanks.



OK I removed the caliper completely and the back tire spins super super well still gonna clean the chain and service the bike but I'm super glad it isn't the wheel but what causes the back brake to do this do I need new pads? Because they just fell out

 

Make sure the pin that the caliper slides on is lubed and moves freely, the pads are lubed where they touch the bracket, and that the piston goes in without too much trouble. Other than that, a bad brake hose can cause the brake to bind. Make sure the lever is returning to stop (full off) position.

 

I reseated the pads and lubed the pin it spins freely after a fair bit of force is applywd to the tire pushing it down it seems pretty good.

I would love to send you a video if possible anyway I could?
