[GsxrAge]

funny that I went out last sunday and my rear brake stuck on


Seems fault is with a non returning master cylinder

Yet more expence

[NBs996]

I had my rear brake stick on a while ago, it was the master cyclinder not returning fully to relieve the pressure.

Can't blame the bike tho cos it turned out to be just adjusted wrong.
All has been working well since nelly got his paws on it tho.

Yet mine works fine, I can lock it up at will.

Great for those slow, tight corners.

Try Talon Engineering. They're the UK distributor for Braking Wave Disks http://www.talon-eng.co.uk/

Thanks Guido.

As the new caliper comes loaded with what I assume will be Brembo pads, are there any anticipated problems with these pads or do I need to change them for something else?

Just ordered a caliper from Harris Performance for £44.01 + vat and will be here tomorrow.

It was £75 + vat from a Ducati dealer and was going to take 7-10 days

"Cost of franchise" makes a massive difference to the price of things!

Now on to Talon to try and get the disc...

Is there are rear brake on these things?

Am haemorrhaging money

You'd be just as well off with a bit of wood I reckon.

Lighter too

...and would have smelled a lot better as it started to overheat
