Boro Jake Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Just changed my pads to EBC bedding them in at the moment i noticed they do rub a touch (it will still rotate 1 turn easy) then do get hot after riding and when i brake at high speeds i do feel some slight vibration through the handle bars.is this normal until the pads break in?

Tango Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Before you fitted the new pads did you clean the caliper pistons before pushing them back in? If you didn't it could be that the pistons are sticking and not allowing the pads to clear the disk when the brake is released. If this is the case ultimately the pads dragging on the disk can cause the disk to warp.... Quote
Boro Jake Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 Its sorted after a 20 mile ride, no longer rubbing Quote
BoB3rt Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 yep, almost always get rubbing for a few miles myself and the discs get really hot till they bed and wear that little bit away. Quote
Stu Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Never had this problem and its not good to get new pads hot quickly as they can glaze! Not to mention the chance of warped disks Quote
