Hi, I’m sorting the bike for sale and have a problem with the front wheel binding when on left hand lock.ihave twin disks fitted and have even reversed callipers (gentleman’s bike style) and still it binds also fitted new wheel bearings just to eliminate that from the equation. This does not happen on right lock and rolls freely going forward or back. Any and all I put appreciated.

Hydraulic pipework?

Slacken both calipers. And check.
Remove speedo cable and check again.
Is the spindle seating correctly?

I have had this before due to incorect gap set between pads and disk.
Slacken the adjuster bolt

I’ve just had similar situation.
On mine the disc was brushing the left fork leg. Worse on left lock freed off on right lock.
Somebody had got the collar at the wrong end of the spindle.
Once I’d freed it off, it had been there for a good while, and put it on the nut end of the spindle, problem solved.
