Rear Brake Drag

[monaro427]

Hi Guys hope someone may be able to shread some light on this, Rode the bike today and noticed that the rear brake feels like it is dragging, when you push down on the foot brake it feels real firm and you don,t have to push far for it to lock, plus the rear disc was extremely hot, any tips

Yup. Caliper off, strip it apart and do a rebuild. get a caliper rebuild kit from wemoto it's only a few quid and it's a really easy job.

OK...Hey Stupid here you go...



Although it might be no.12...I'd check both & lube accordingly.

You'll have to excuse Lloydie, he's not dyslexic he just can't spill proper being a numpty Midlander...

Rear disc has no bobbins, it's a solid disc. Caliper rebuild!
