I am having problems with my front disc brake with my Yamaha Yazer 2009 the plates are heating up coz the shoes are in contact with the plates the wheels are also running tightly.I checked it with my...
1. Check your brake pads thickness, make sure they are in good condition, else replace
2. Make sure your brake disk are not warped. If they are then replace them.
3. Spray the pads and caliper piston with a good brake cleaner spray to ensure that no sticky gunk is hindering it from operating properly.
4. Remove your caliper bolts, clean them and give it some good moly grease.
5.After that it is time to tackle your brake lines, unbolt your brake banjo bolt, squeeze hand brake till all fluid comes out, clean it with clean cloth, bolt it back on. Now open your master cylinder reservoir, make sure it is not empty, fill it with brake fluid to normal level. Pump brake few times until it take effort to squeeze, hold it and open caliper bleeder valve wide open while continue squeezing, it should shoot a lot of oil with dirt, keep squeezing brake until it bottoms out, close bleeder valve, repeat pumping the brake handle until becomes hard to squeeze, hold it, open wide bleeder valve, it should be clean now, otherwise repeat process again until it comes out clean.
While doing that keep your maste cylinder oil level at full level, do not let it run empty.
Now ride the bike to 20-30kph, apply brake occassionally to adjust it.
Good luck and happy riding.
