Hi and firstly hello to everyone on the site..
I'm am look so info if possible on a problem that I'm having...
I have just bought a 2004 rsvr / Mille R and while out driving it I could feel a problem and first I though it was losing power but soon click on that it was coming from the rear brake, I stop at the side of the road only to find that the rear brake was completely seized tight and I could not even puts the bike forward, on looking at the rear brake and wheel I could see that the disc and calliper was red and very hot.... After sitting for 10 mins r so I noticed that the bike wheel had became unseized so I nursed her home.......
I then read on a form that the rsv brakes need bleed also so I changed the pads and bleed the brake....
Then yesterday I was heading up to the watch the first 2 races of the northwest 200 with my friend,,, only getting 15 mile up the road I noticed that there was the same feeling coming from the bike I pulled over the the side of the road only to see that the rear brake was on fire,,,, so waited for I while and got bike home..
Today I took rear calliper off only to find the pads and the calliper piston were complete disc integrated ....
Please help this is my first aprillia
