I have changed out my tires 5 times in the 21,xxx miles and until this issue started poking me, I never released the left side pinch bolts to remove the wheel. I did, while taking suggestions from you all, redo the mount following the manuals specific instructions. Of course I, then removed the wheel to clean etc. check tir etc. Not sure if the specified precedure has benefit. I am like Brian and don't see that if could make any difference as the flanges on the axle and axle nut are what's used to locate the front end.
Maybe the manual procedure should be titled "anti-warpage,no brake draggib', rotor bliss, pixie's dance" or something like that.
Better yet, Kawasaki should have shaped the calipers like Shishi, that way the evil spirits would have stayed away.
