Spin the wheel to make sure it is not in contact with the brake pads or the brake rotor.
Warning: Do not touch the brake rotor. This can reduce brake performance or cause injury. - While spinning the wheel, check the brake rotor condition. If the brake rotor is wobbling or damaged, it might need to be replaced.

If the rotor is straight but is consistently contacting the brake pads, you will need to adjust the position of the brake caliper.

Ensure alignment is correct before moving on to the next step.a. Spin the wheel to ensure that the brake pads and brake rotor are not rubbing. Otherwise, repeat the above steps.
b. Torque the caliper bolts. When tightening, alternate between the two bolts. Torque the bolts to 10-12Nm using a torque wrench with 5mm Allen wrench.
