Hello Folks
I need a little help with an issue that I had once before on a K1300GT and now with my XR.
I recently replaced the front brake pads at 26,000 miles with a set of the red coloured Brembo pads. By all accounts they are the same, just not copper coloured. Nothing else was altered.
On returning from a ride out I noticed that the discs were warm. I'm not heavy on brakes so I jacked up the front of the bike to find both sides are rubbing very slightly. Enough to start wearing away the discs. It also darkened slightly. Push the pads back a bit and the wheel spins freely. Apply the lever and release and it's back to rubbing again.
I spent many hours trying to figure this issue on the K1300 and never got to the bottom of it.
I've replaced many brake pads and shoes over the many years without issue.
Could someone tell me what I've done wrong or need to do?
Many thanks.
