A while a go i got new front wheel bearings for my 250x. And when they were off, i think the brakes accidently got hit. I got them back on and wedged on there. I have ridden it and one side barely sticks anymore, but one side barely spins freely at all. Im wonder if my caliper got bent when i was getting bearings out? Or what i should do? Thanks

could you have tightened the hub too much? loosen the nut and see if it spins any better. if it does, theres you problem. if its not the problem, your rotor could be bent or your calpier seized. take your caliper off and take out the pin the the caliper slides on and geaze it well and then put it al back togeher.

I have played with the hub, i came to the conclusion that the caliper is stuck, or the rotor is bent. Thanks, ill try the greasing thing.
