Rear Brake Caliper

Just a quick question on the rear brake caliper (not the parking brake)

NC750X DCT 2016.  (Mileage: 700miles)

I have movement on the rear caliper.

There are two fixing bolts and one is fixed and tight but the other has slight movement on it.  It looks like it is rubber mounted.

The bolt is tight.

 

Is this correct?

Yes worry when  there is no movement I assume  you are saying  the movement  is on the rear 12 mm spanner size one not the front  14mm one

Yes it was the 12mm.  Put a spanner on it to check it was tight.

 

Many thanks

Its a sliding caliper. It only has a single piston, and has to move a little sideways as the piston presses on the pad so the 12mm bolt actually has a rod further down that slides in the rubber.

Right.  Now I understand

Thanks for the tech answer.
