Hi,

It's normal, depending on the amount of drag. With my old Softail, I'd get 1/2 a turn out of the front wheel if I spun it on the lift. With my bagger, I get less than 1/4.
Thanks

I use a putty knife to gently pry the pads away from the rotors, then spin. Listening for grinding, feeling smoothness. Amount of free revolutions differs depending on the bearings used. Ceramic seem to have the least resistance.
