Default Rear brakes on UC

Having my indy put new pads on, as long as he's back there what else should be looked at or done.

he should be telling you, no?

check caliper condition, pistons moving freely, seals good, no leaks

look for wear and tear, grooved/warped/damaged rotor.

smooth bearing and wheel operation.

check some fasteners


Since I do not know what year/model/miles your bike* has...maybe wheel bearing service


probably wants to check the brake fluid...does it need flushed and replaced ?

if a late model has the brake switch recall been performed ?

Mike

* some riders assume that there year/model info will show up if entered in profile or a pic- that is not always the case. easiest to enter that info in the first post

Hey Mike, thanks 2004 25k, and yea he did make some suggestions, but it's always better to get second opinions.
