Hey folks I’m looking for a little assistance with my 2017 CB. I ran over a nail or screw and had to have the rear tire and tube replaced at about 2300 miles or so. The tire and tube was replaced, and after riding it for a couple of days I noticed a new odd vibration that seemed to be coming from the rear tire. Hoping it was just because the tire was new I ignored it for a while, but it didn’t go away.
I brought it back to the mechanic and they said the new tire they installed was cracked and the front was scalloped, to get rid of the vibration both would need to be replaced with a discount due to the fact the tire they replaced was part of the issue. After a long wait I got the bike back and the problem was noticeable after a couple of hundred miles again.
I noticed the rear brake caliper seems to be loose but when trying to see if the bolts were loose it appears to be tight. Is it normal for the caliper to move slightly on the rear brake? Also the vibration is noticeable from 45mph-60 or 70, anything after that I’m getting blown all over the place and it’s hard to notice. Thanks for any guidance!
