Oooo.... shiny.
I get tired just listening to what you have done.
Did that rotor seat properly Bob? Might just be the camera angle, but it looks like the nut isn't threaded all the way on.
Something wrong there. I tighten mine up as least as tight maybe tighter than the axle nut. I don't get any binding.That large nut only goes on finger tight, if you crank it down it binds up the disc.
Well this is just.... nuts...

the other rotor nut?
Ya, where'd that motor nut Bob go?

Look and see if the woodruff key didn't partially cock out the back. Not uncommon....I guess I’ll have to do some checking, I thought it seemed a little short on there.
You might want to double check that the bearings are fully seated. If they aren't you'll side load the bearings when you tighten the nut up. I wouldn't take much for that to happen.

Says they guy restoing a XS750.The only thing funkier that that brake assembly is yamaha's wiring for the heritage. To many interconnected series.
OK. I just had the front end apart on mine. Replaced forks and caliper/brake pads.Bleed the brake.I noticed after I had it back together it didn't spin as easily as I remembered. Took it all back apart and rechecked. It was the brake pads dragging.Where the binding occurs is the brake caliper, more of a serious drag than binding. Tightening that nut on the axle doesn’t bother the axle assembly. It could even be that I need to compress the brake pads and let everything get centered. I might just pull the brake caliper tomorrow and see how it is. When I took the front end apart today, that nut was already loose, I probably tightened it when I built the bike but there is nothing to hold it tight. It is not a lock nut and there is no lock washer. It’s just a weird design.
Sorry for the alert, but it is noticeable to see.
