A few weeks ago I had a crash going over the bars which resulted in a pretty good concussion. I don't know what my bike did in the crash but the muffler was bent in towards the rear wheel and the exhaust was just touching the rear shock spring. It obviously came down on the right hand side to bend the exhaust like that but since then my front brakes have been dragging. There was a little bit of dirt in the bolt where the brake line goes into the master cylinder and the throttle grip was torn but I can't see any other damage.
I bought a new pin and bolt for the calliper incase they were bent but they made no difference. I then took the caliper off my bike and hooked it up to my wife's yz125 to make sure it wasn't the master cylinder or brake line and it still dragged on her bike. I took the brakes off her bike and put on mine and the only drag was from the minor bend in the disc.
Before I order a new caliper is there anything else I should check? I'm at a loss at what else it could be other than a bent caliper. Bike has 15 hours in it from new
