st 1050 rear brake / bearing play

[obruniman]

I have a 2006 st 1050 with 16k miles on clock. i recently noticed that the rear brake carrier (that the rear calliper is bolted to) has some play in it.

Any ideas please on how this can be fixed? It doesn't seem correct. Can I get access to this if the rear wheel is removed? Is it a bearing issue? Is it normal? Is it part of the Cush Drive? needing replacement?

Answers on a post card please, Regards......

Perfectly normal, unless it is grossly excessive, which I doubt is the case.

Take a look at the bikebandit parts fische and you will see that the caliper is bolted to a plate that is free to move fore and aft i/a/w eccentric rotation.

Thanks for the replies chaps, I will check also with the dealer today as I think the cush drive is gone and needs replacing.

Thanks also for maintaining the forum as it's good to see the marque supported.
