Hi all
I have an st1100 98 abs aw bike. the problem is that the back brake was constantly rubbing So. I have done the following
1.front calipers thoroughly cleaned
2.rear caliper COMPLETELY stripped all seals replaced all pistons polished reassembled put back on with new pads, all honda seals and pads
3. rear disc replaced with new disk and bolts, both honda, old disk warped
4. brakes bled in correct sequence and flushed through with approx 250ml of brake fluid. there is no air in there!!
Test ride, 3 miles down the road using the front and rear brakes and the back disc is red hot and the bike is pulling like I am resting my foot on the rear brake pedal ie back brake moderately hard on. I stop for ten minutes let it cool down force the rear pistons open so pads are not rubbing at the rear ride home on the front brake only.
only other symptom is the rear pedal before the ride was soft with alot of travel but if pumped did go hard as I would expect it to ie has resistance. the abs light is on and tcs light is on too not sure if this helps
any advice plaese as I am completely stumped and it is now costing alot of money chasing the fault
