That's brilliant guys. Thanks for the advice. Stay safe, Tim

Well the driving standards agency mention considering the wearing of ear plugs to prevent hearing loss and fatigue on long journeys. That said, why not give the brain something to listen to & break up the droneing. I believe it is illegal to wear either whilst driving a car. Cheers 'n' ride safe YamahaTubthumper

Hi y'all. I bought my YBR 125 (2006) about three weeks ago and have hardly had the time to use it since. I noticed yesterday that the front wheel is not exactly free running, in that the pads rub stopping the wheel in about 1/4 rotation after a 'good swing'. The pads were fitted by the Triumph dealership I bought it from the day I collected it, so are 37 miles 'old'. The fluid level is well up in the resevoir, but not excessively so. I took it apart yesterday and cleaned out all the dust etc. and the caliper seemed to be quite free running. Should I just let these bed in, of should I be covering it all in copper-ease before hiring a truck and taking it to the Yamaha dealer with a cab-full of cash. Also, while I think of it Michelin Pilot Sporties or Sava MC7's? All opinions gratefully received. All the best, YamahaTubthumper (They make drums too!)
