Re: NC30 front brake binding
Hmm, I know the bikes had a right side off in the past, the clutch cover is scratched.
So yeah aftermarket. Anyway, took the bike for a spin, on the advice of my dad's gf's son who's a motorbike mechanic.
He said to see if it eases off at all with a ride, if not it would determine if one or both calipers were sticking by checking if they were hot etc.
So far the left disc was a little warm after 4 miles. Then rode 4 miles back home and both the discs were cold.
So I think I'll keep an eye on it for now.
Open to advice still though!

And also, the ride was fucking awesome
Even though it was just 50mph and I didn't get further than 4th, it was amazing
Definately bought the right bike
