Rode my Trident 900 to work yesterday (15 miles ride) and noticed after I'd switched off and as I parked it that it seemed 'reluctant' to roll. Felt the rear disc and *OUCH* it felt nearly red hot, and the caliper was cooking too. Bugger! Sounds like the pistons must be seizing. I'd only had it all apart last summer too, when I fitted a new disc and pads, and had a mechanic mate clean up the caliper for me. It seemed to have freed up when I rode it home, and I only used the front brake, and the rear disc was cool when I got home. Tried it out again this afternoon and the bike waddled all over the place. Bugger! Rear tyre pressure way down. Looks like I've got a slow puncture to add to my woes. Should I replace the pads if they've been cooked this badly?
