new tires
Had front and rear tires put on my 07 RKC today. Got home about 70 miles and noticed a lot of brake dust on the wheels. I let the bike sit up awhile then went to role it into the garage. It was a hard push and I heard the front break pads rubbing.
Called the dealer and was told don't worry wheels may need to be slightly readjusted and for me to bring bike tommorrow to the shop.
Do I have to worry about riding my bike back to the shop?

sounds kinda like your wheel is offset a bit, causing your rotors to rub against your pads more than they should. ride easy back, and they'll center the wheel properly. sounds like whoever did the work was in a hurry. it can happen. an easy fix, all they gotta do is loosen the axle a bit and realign the wheel to get the rotors out of the bind. hope it works for you. remember, slow to the dealership.

For your info. Right front brake pad was draging. The shop owner took my bike in at 9:00am, reset tire and gave it back at 20 after. Big difference. The shop said the pad would have eventually worn in, but from yesterdays and this mornings ride the bike was handleing poorly. Anyway, on way home everything OK. At first stop light it was obvious bike was moving freely with clutch in. Thanks.
