I just put new tires on my new to me 2020 dct and cleaned the chain with a paintbrush a rag and diesel while the wheel was off and it was solid grime. Now when I take the bike for a ride its really noisy. I installed a centerstand. lubed up chain well and checked slack. It's right at 1.5". At first I thought the noise was engine or chain related but it was fairly quiet when running on the stand with the rear wheel in the air. It would not leave first gear. I assume that may get feedback from front wheel sensor to allow gear changes? I then lifted the front wheel up and spun by hand. There was a significant dragging noise. I tried multiple times loosing and re-tightening the shaft, banging on tire before tightening and it seems to rub less.... until I hit front brake then it drags like a bugger. I removed and reinstalled the caliper twice too. I didnt see any obvious issue and pads look evenly barely worn. Could the caliper be bad on a 1yr old 4k mile bike? Any other ideas on what to try?
