dfwilson Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 I ran my bike down the road about a mile at 25 mph (~40.234 kph) and back to warm it up before changing the oil. By the time I got back the front brakes had heated up and nearly brought the bike to a stop. The brake lever would not compress and the disk had started to turn blue. These are one year old APJ's. I loosened the lever to make sure that the piston had full range. I changed the brake fluid after the brakes cooled and things went back to working. The shoes are not worn. This may have happened before as I smelled something getting hot after riding the trail to a new section. The bike sat long enough for the brakes to cool before riding the section. I didn't notice anything was wrong. Does anyone know what is happening and how to remedy it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
