    well the ESP is not working on this side.

    have you turned on on your side as you miss out some important information.

    What are the brakes?

    try backing off the static poston and then re aligning the caliper.

    Or have a read of parktools.

    ...methinks snig requires the assistance of two people here...
    ...one to hold the spanner & the other to rotate the bike around it! :lol:

    some people just want a bike to ride and not have to think to much about it,nothing wrong with that,others like to get more into it.
