I have a 2018 Rt with 12500km on it. I was out Thursday for a 200km ride ,when I got home I could smell something odd. I checked the bike and found the rear rotor was extremely hot. Tried turning the rear wheel and it was binding on the brake caliper. Luckliy I had a service appointment booked for the next day. The service tech noted the following.
brake pedal has almost no travel
rear brake rotor showed signs of over heating
rear brake pads were falling apart along the top edges,surfaces were well worn
cleaned rotor
serviced caliper
replaced rear brake pads n/c
backed off "blow by" adjustment to rear master cylinder
bled rear brake and replaced fluid
cycled abs pump
The rear wheel is now turning freely , I rode it home and all appears normal.
I am wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience.
