"i got a honda 600cbrf4 rear wheel and brakes on my bike."

:wtf: I have a rear wheel and brakes too. I think i know what you mean. Have you had it on a stand to see if was even dragging a little? How hot are we talking? I barely use my rear brake while riding. i've never felt my rear rotor after a ride. I'd say if you know 100% there's no rubbing then it should be OK. Get it on a stand and try it, if you didn't already. You got some stock pads on there?

lmao, i mean on the bike in my avater, yea i had it up on a stand, no rub at all with the stock pads, nor with the new ones, i think they are ebc pads. i never noticed it either until i accidently touched it one day, f'n hot! they dont smell or fade, and i dont use em hard, but i use em, ya kno? my stock brakes never got this hot, thats all

If you upgrade your pads to HH or something, then maybe they'll get a little hotter because the compound creates more friction. I'd have to ride my bike one day and touch it when i get off to see how hot mine gets. Just keep an eye on the thickness. I got 16K on my bike and the rear pads still look new.

cool thanks, i dont kno about the mileage, the caliper/rotor came from ebay, two dif sellers. rotor looks fine, pads were worn tho

wanna put a 929 setup on there??

i can point you in the right direction for parts

 

[dnyce]

haha, i just sold a 929 setup, thats wat i was gona do at first, but the 600 caliper bracket and wheel were easier to make work. i just wish the rim was a 6inch instead of 5.5 so icould run a 200mm tire. now maybe a 929 front end-forks brakes wheel, etc...

I'm still not seeing a thread about your bike! :wink: :lol:

Anyway, be sure that you are lined up correctly... you may just be draggin one pad. Furthermore, make sure the slider bolts are nice and lubed!

 

[dnyce]

how would i tell if one pad was draggin (doubt it) which pad it was.
up on a stand it doesnt seem to drag, and i even hit the brakes, pumped it a few times, held it for alil bit, but both ways they still didnt drag wen i released the brake. i check my front rotors, they just get warm, not hot.
i guess its just somethin that hapns, and but u never really notice it.
unless they start squeaking or fading or just not workin, im over it now

 

[dnyce]

oh yea, its a floating caliper, wouldnt it align itself?

 

[Gas Man]

not if it isn't lubed properly...

But yeah it should normally...
