ZX 636C6 help please

I have just fitted new pads to my bike and have now noticed that the front wheel looks to be over to one side? I took the wheel out checked the spacers (both the same width) and re-fitted the front wheel but its still over to one side and the disc/caliper gap is also uneven. The bike had new wheel bearings fitted about 500 miles ago, could they be the wrong ones?

Any 636 owners can you check that the spacers are even going into the wheel on both side for me please?

thanks

Mike

did it look fine before pads ?
did it freewheel/spin fine before new pad ?
are the disc centered in the calipers ?
does it bind up or freewheel fine now ?

No, the front left disc was warped so it was new pads & discs all round. I never noticed it before but maybe thats what caused the disc to warp with it being out of line up?

hey , if the pins are dirty or calipers dont slide correctly will that cause the front end to vibrate off and on?
