Squeaky front brake with right-hand lock

Hi all,


I dropped my bike (Honda XL125) in December. I didn't do much damage, but I bent the handlebars and had to have them replaced. The bike fell on its left hand side, pushing the steering hard to the right.


The bike seems perfectly OK, rides fine, etc, but whenever I push it backwards with the steering on full lock to the right, the front brake squeaks (like the pad is rubbing on the disc). It didn't do this before I dropped it, I wonder what could be causing it?


Thanks, Mike.

is you brake hose getting trapped somewhere, could you have routed it incorrectly,

or maybe you just need to copper-ease the back of the pads,

the cold and wet weather plays havoc with pistons so they may not be going back fully..
