I'm frustrated at how hot my rear rotor gets even unused, pads seem to wear pretty fast. Spinning the tire by hand on a stand has no drag. Maybe I'll let it idle for 10 min and see if it heats up still.
Just popped a new rotor and sintered pads on today and cleaned the pistons, bled er. wrapped exhaust packing and loom between the horizontal master/ brake line and motor. I've always been able to skid the rear, today it chirped.
Grabbed the IR temp gun tonight after 10 highway miles.
front rotors 90f
rear rotor 135f with little use (feels hot as fck.Do polished surfaces read accurate?
rear caliper 130f
master 125f
clutch cover 165f
swinger 150f
Header/crossover/link pipes range 311f(rear cyl) -175f front.
I'm tempted to mount a duct on the swinger to see if it's just due to being faired behind all the hot stuff or friction.
