Stop that bike

Hi Guys, had the brake calliper re-built- as it had partially seized..so it was binding...and heating up the disc....that and the fluid had changed colour!, so its been like that for awhile...all sorted now!

Thanks for the advice- appreciate it!

Hi Guys
After some advice regarding brake pads.

I’ve just stepped off a 450 4s, and on to a 250 4s both having 260mm discs / Bembro front ends.

Every time I’ve taken the 250 out I’ve over heated the font…starts to fade….and she starts squealing.

I’ve tried to change my riding style- lots more engine braking…using the front sparingly…but all this does is delay the inevitable.

Trail ride on sunday (Sheffield) was the last straw……cant keep riding like this.

Spoke to guy parked next to me in the pits told me to cut several groves in the pads to deduce surface frication, dissipate the heat.

I can appreciate there must various options regarding break pads on the market, I’m keen to take steeps to increase the stopping power…but where to start!


Appreciate the advice.
