I think that you could be onto something re the alignment of the disc - I will check out my semi-floater to see - but it was the original disc off of the bike, and I know the spindle bush was located properly cos I have fallen for that one before!

However, I did not have any problems fitting new pads to either disc setup - which I have experienced when the disc and caliper are not aligned properly. Also I have run identical full-floaters and calipers on my 851 on both road and track without any noticeable problems............

I will pop the pistons out of the caliper tonight and see what the inside is like.

Maybe we were just using our brakes too much for a single disc setup?

Didn't Fil2 have similar problems, something to do with the speedo drive replacement spacer being the wrong size or wrongly located or something? Which meant that the caliper was getting too hot as it was rubbing the disk constantly?

Probably worth a U2U ??
