Hi all, My R1250RS has just had its 6000 mile service and we've just done a 2up NC767 tour of Scotland . |

I would be making sure the pads aren't binding. My 1200 is approaching the 24k service and still on the OE pads. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 I agree, something is not right. Go for a ride and come to a gentle stop without using the front brakes and touch the front disks to see if if they're hot. You can also lift the front wheel, spin it and see if there's more than normal drag.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #4Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 Wheel spins freely and always has, I do that every time I clean the bike and degrease the rotors. I cleaned it just the day before service and free as a bird. Also had checked pads before setting off to Scotland for NC767 and they looked fine. Tried what you said and no heat at all in the rotors, no squeak or squeal either. Rotors also show no unusual discoloring or odd wear, flat as a new set, no warping or anything, ran a clock (dial test indicator) on them both and no run out axially or radially.. |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 Thanks, worth a look. Had Ferodo on my VFR800 years ago. |

You mention that this was a 2 up tour of Scotlan. Not sure how many miles that would be. |

Zitat von Unkgd im Beitrag #7 Yes total 1,256 miles, not much in the way of hard or excessive braking to be honest. Anyhow its where I am now regardless and I have to get a new set for the fronts. :-) |
