Thank you for providing that information about your brake issue. It sounds like you're experiencing a problem with your brake caliper after refilling the brake fluid and attempting to reinstall it. Let's break this down and try to diagnose the problem: 1. **Brake pad too close to disc**: This could be due to: - The caliper piston not fully retracting - Misalignment during reassembly - Worn brake pads 2. **Caliper getting stuck after squeezing the brake lever**: This suggests the piston may be seized or not moving freely. To help diagnose and potentially resolve this issue, please try the following steps: 1. Double-check that the brake pads are correctly seated in the caliper. 2. Ensure the caliper is properly aligned with the brake disc. 3. Try to gently push the brake piston back into the caliper using a C-clamp or brake piston tool. 4. Inspect the brake piston for any signs of corrosion or damage. 5. Check if the brake fluid reservoir is overfilled, as this can prevent the piston from retracting fully. If these steps don't resolve the issue, or if you're uncomfortable performing them, it's best to consult a professional mechanic. They can properly diagnose and repair any internal issues with the caliper or brake system. For a more accurate diagnosis, it would be helpful to know: - The make, model, and year of your motorcycle - Whether this issue occurred immediately after refilling the brake fluid - If you noticed any unusual resistance when squeezing the brake leverDaniel Garaiacu🛠️ 5 tools 🙏 1,180 karmaJun 10, 2025@Moto Repair TomHeya Ron!
