Here we go again
Seriously pissed off.
I can't ride this bike until I sort this out, the back brake has cooked again. All the parts of the brake system are about a year old, replaced the last time it over heated! Thankfully the disc hasn't cracked this time
I've no idea why it's happening, I've bled the system as per the manual, the pistons move freely in the caliper, a friend suggested the wheel alignment maybe out. I adjusted and went out for a test ride. The caliper is still running hot after a few miles, too hot to touch, is this normal?
Any other suggestions. I'm thinking maybe a KTM
Rear Brake again

Well, after having stripped the whole thing down cleaned everything, bled and bled it again. I then paid money to have a garage do it for me. Well it sort of works now, but it still runs very hot.
How hot is normal, I'm talking disc and caliper. The front discs are cool, but the rear is almost too hot to touch. I'm sure that can't be right
How hot is yours (sensible answers only please )

Yep, rear wheel spins, disc not warped(yet!!), bracket doesn't appear to be bent and the pistons move freely.
To be honest I don't use it an awful lot. I can in fact get to work without using it, and some days when I'm feeling cocky without putting my feet down, not that thats got anything to do with it
