So I put the bike back on the center stand and removed/reinstalled the assembly, the caliper and pads look aligned and I had cleaned and greased the hanger pin, everything looked correct. I took the bike for another short test ride and this time without using the rear brake, again I found the rear rotor was hot.Hi, may I know where did you get the rear brake rotor, I'm try to looking online but did not find any available right now.
Is it normal for the rear rotor to be on the hot side without applying the rear brake? I imagine the rotor could be getting heated to some extent given it's proximity to the exhaust but I'm concerned it's the installation of the new pads that's causing the issue. Any thoughts or suggestions on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks.
