#108696 Flash (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 HOT back rotor 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Need your input for peace of mind. I changed tires and put the bike back together and went for about a five mi test ride to made sure everything was functioning good. Bike drove great, tested brades before i left, both wheels free, both brakes worked properly. Brakes worked properly on the drive. When I returned home I checked the rotors, front was cool to the touch, the back rotor was so hot I could not leave my hand on it. I have never checked the temperature on the rear rotor before. Seems odd to me. I checked it again after it was parked, wheel is free spinning. Anyone else have a hot rotor before??? It's got me perplexed.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #108708 Flash (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:HOT back rotor 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   bump   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #108713 Curt (User) Never to old to ride!

Hope i'm not being too paranoid.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #108718 Flash (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:HOT back rotor 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   i mean "Supertrapp" (freuordian slip there) Any input would be appreciated.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #108719 Curt (User) Never to old to ride! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3066 Re:HOT back rotor 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Try loosing your bracket bolt that hold the whole brake assy to the frame have your wife or some one push the brake peddle and hold it down while you tighten the bolt back down. I had a squeak coming from mine and it turned out that it was cocked just a little. By having some one mash the brake when you tighten the bolt it aligns every thing parallel.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #108722 Flash (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:HOT back rotor 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago   GREAT idea!!!
