Couple of things.... 1. Put the bike on the centerstand and make sure the rear wheel rotates with minimal rub from the rear brake. There WILL be some, but not a lot. Spin it with your left hand and tap the rear brake pedal with your foot (this requires some dexterity) making sure that it releases fully after each tap.
2. The real fix will be that you should loosen the rear brake mounting bracket (where it mounts on the swingarm) everytime you work on the rear brakes or remove the rear wheel. When everything is back together, slip the caliper over the rotor and make sure it is CENTERED! Give the rear brake pedal a tap and see if it centers it for you. Just give it a visual check and THEN tighten down on the bolts that secure the assembly to the rear swingarm.

They were the standard EBC Kevlar pads. One side was definitely worn more than the other but both still badly worn. The brake doesn't seem to be dragging and I don't ride with my foot on the pedal. Any ideas? Dud set? Unfortunately, I couldn't wait around to mail order another brand or at least the better grade EBC so I have another set of the Kevlar ones in there. At least they're not too expensive and easy to change. Anyone with similar experience?
