Brake Trouble
08
fxdc
Since i changed my rear tire my rear brake is draggin .
Alignment is good pistons travelfine but still draggin .
to the point where the rotor is way too hot too touch?
Could the pressure not be releasing in the rear master for some reason ?
And its possibly plugged?
Anyone else have this happen.?
Im gonna bleed both front ( separate i know ) and back and go from there..

New pads did not make any change by the way.

Man, I had the same problem on my '03 Hertigage Springer when I changed the rear pads. Afterwards, the rotor got piping hot. I never did figure out what was wrong so I sold the bike and bought a 2010 Streetglide. Haven't had the problem since.
Take care,

Logic would tell me that you may have a spacer in the wrong place. If all you did was change the tire, I know you said alignment is good, but if you checked alignment for trueness as far as straight in the swingarm, that really doesn't tell you if it is a hair off center in the swingarm.Does one side of the rotor show heavier wear now? Are the pads same thickness? May be too soon to tell, but I would certainly do some checking.
