Question Rear Brake Rotor

[SHADiGUY1]

Damn it ever since i switched to the EBC HH pads my rotor Is turning a goldish purple color which i figure is from heat i dunno maybe its time to upgrade the lines To Braided and get a glafer rotor and hope it helps. Suggestions or comments on why this is happening? Thanks.

You're using the rear brake too much... use more front brake and you will be ok.

Two things..

1) Get rid of the HH pads. Dirty, noisy and just not that great IMO.

2) Insure you (or someone else) did not install the rear spring clip in backwards. If mounted wrong the pad never lifts off the rotor. Sounds to me like the rotor is getting way to hot.

I've ran 2 sets of EBC HH and have never had that problem. But like R8 said, they are dirty and noisy

You mean to tell me these bikes have back brakes???

I almost never use it...

Does the rear wheel spin freely when the bike is on a stand, it's in neutral and the rear brake is not applied?

cheers

Put the bike on a rear stand, if the rear wheel spins freely there is no problem with the HH pads or the caliper, if not, remove the caliper and check it out.

I've run HH pads on my 06 busa for 28000 miles with no problems at all.

I put the 3rd set on today.

No problems with mine either.

 

[SHADiGUY1]

yes rear wheel spins freely.

How about a pic?

Just give Daniel a call. Order up some Carbon Lorraine pads. You won't go back to HH pads.

front and back shots

Hard to tell with the flash. Mic them tomorrow and see if still in spec. If so change pads.

Most members leave the back rotor stock and put money in the front. I recommend these.

I got a great deal from a board sponsor. I was asked "not" to divulge the price he gave me.

It's been several years and I have kept that promise.

Leave the back stock. Run these on front. Oh, warranty states Carbon Lorraine Pads only. Enough said.

Give Daniel a call on Monday. Good price on complete set shipped. Used them on Sam's rebuild.
