Rear Brake Dragging

[bulle109]

I've researched many posts on this issue but haven't found what I'm experiencing. Yes, my rear caliper is keeping pressure on the rotor causing wear on the rotor, and heat, a lot of it. The rotor has worn where the pads make contact with it, both on inside and outside of rotor. I just replaced pads with EBC HH. I've flushed the system, bled it several times with fresh fluid, and it still doesn't release all the way. I've jacked the bike and spun the wheel and it turns but with resistance. After using the rear brake, the calipers don't release and stay solid (no movement). I've greased the sliding pins under the boots (the original grease still looked good but I put a little more in there). One thing that I don't know is, when I have the caliper off, and the brake line is still attached, as I pump the pedal the pistons do NOT extend simultaneously. One moves out, then the other. Back and forth. Shouldn't they extend evenly at the same time? Is there a check valve in the master cylinder that may not be relieving all pressure back into reservoir? I've pumped the pedal to put pressure on the pistons and cracked the bleeder ports to see if pressure was on the line. Nothing squirted but it did seep out after a few seconds. This is more than new pads making contact with the rotor. It's that PLUS its holding them tighter with pressure. Not full-blown pressure like I'm pressing on the pedal, but a lessor degree than that. It's on 07' with 40,000 miles. Thanks a lot!

Welcome to like 5 hours ago Tbag!

I don't read your posts. It's waste of time usually. You almost never write anything of substance.

Like you have any room to talk! Maybe you should so you don't reiterate something someone else has already said! That way you won't look like a complete fool, just an idiot!

I probably will continue to ignore much of what you post. You're kind of a hack mechanic anyway with very little motorcycle wrenching experience. If this was a forum for 1957-1964 Chevys then your advice might be applicable but for something modern with complexity like the 9 you're pretty much just lost and useless.

That's ok, you keep thinkin that

What can I say. Big Butthead is a dumbass and he obviously can't read very well.

[blcole]

Any chance that with 40,000 miles on it it just has a sticking caliper. Just had this problem on my 69 c10 stepside?

I thought you would say something like that. LMAO

Come on B your not done yet are you

I understand brakes get hot. But they get hot from usage, not from one application and the heat generated from that one application. That is not normal. Nor is an additional half gallon of gas used in a normal commute that I've done for four years. The brake is grabbing and I'll get it figured out. I really do appreciate your ideas and input.

Well, Well. Would ya' look at that. The Bster is up, got the sleepies wiped out of his eyes, changed out of his Hello Kitty night-nights and put on his big boy pants to issue a scathing retort first thing. Nice one there, B. Judges give it a solid 3 out of 10. Points were taken off for lack of imagination and overuse of emoticons but they see a definite improvement.

Bulle109, you better be careful. You're entering that dangerous "Big Bs gonna get you zone". Get in his sights and your forum experience will be forever changed. And not in a good way.

I see your radar went off, didn't take ya too long to reply. Or were you already up tending to the goats? And for someone that dresses up their pets for holiday pictures, you have no room to talk about what someone "might" be wearing as PJ's.

Hey I am still pretty new to this, so don't bust my gonads I don't even know what I did wrong to make that quote look like it came from me WTF. I also see that you do know how to use it as you made your quote look like it came from me To answer your question, I don't really want to get in on it because I do not think that I could keep up with you guys, but like I said before you guys crack me up. I guess I thought TRod missed an opportunity and I wanted to see where it went. Seriously though one of the first things I do when I come on site is to check to see what you guys are up too. I am always reading some of the banter between you two to my wife, she gets some good laughs too. She also knows both of you by site name and will ask what you guys are up too lol.

Anyway's B your right I did make myself look like a dumbass which is something that I try not to do. I will just try to enjoy your guys banter in the future and keep my nose out of it

I hear you TRod and will heed your warning, as you will see in this post ( if I have applied the quote feature right lol ) I am trying to make up for my mistake lol. The last thing I would want is to try and keep up with you guys. Like I said before I enjoy the entertainment and I think it would be a blast to sit down and have a few with you guys. So keep on as you were and I will just sit back and enjoy the ride.

LOL, it's all in good fun anyway, so just take it w/ a grain of salt. Trust me, T will NEVER miss a chance to bust my balls. It's what he lives for! The only thing really missing is commentary from BP and Giddy but they're probably out riding cuz the weather is decent here. as for T, he's like the fat kid that nobody wants to pick for their team. He wishes he could be as cool as us Md boyz, but he doesn't have the right stuff.

Oh yeah, I wanna be like you boyz so bad. You guys are just the coolest bunch of dudes, EVER! I can just see you 3 hanging together in Giddy's garage pondering which one of you will be the pivot man this time. B to Giddy, "Hey, I was pivot man last time I sure as hell ain't gonna do it today, you do it!" Giddy says, "Not me, I was pivot man 3 weeks in a row, get Harris to do it." Harris, "Pick me, pick me, I wanna be the pivot man, please pick me!"

As entertaining as this is I will have to check in later as it is 85 here and sun, so I am going to mount up and go for a run. Have a good day boyzs.

P.S- My wife told me this AM that I could order the 6" cannon. She's the best, I am a lucky man!

And, again, sheep. All you guys really do read from the same post-it note. Originality is a foreign concept for all of you.
