Hey folks
I recently carried out a full rebuild of my front and rear calliper and the secondary master cylinder and everything was working fine. I have just replaced the rear brake pads on my 1300 with aftermarket pads and now they are binding slightly when they are hot. I don't have this problem when they are cold and the wheel spins freely. I have checked the secondary master cylinder and it is working perfectly.
My questions are :
1. Is it the aftermarket pads as opposed to genuine Honda? And why do they work for some people and not for others?
2. I noticed the two rubber boots that cover the sliding pins are loose/free at one end, are they supposed to be secured at both ends. I have repacked the boots with silicone anyway.
3. When the bike is moving and everything is hot I can hear the pads rubbing against the disc, yet when I push the brake pedal this rubbing goes away. I have taken out and re seated the pads a number of times properly, is this happening because they are aftermarket pads?
I am planning to buy a new pad retaining bolt and genuine Honda pads in the hope that this will alleviate my problem, can any of you good folk suggest or offer advice to check anything else, and answer the above questions.
As always your help is greatly appreciated.
I might have to fly igofar aka Larry to Ireland for a visit to get to the bottom of this problem
Thanks
