I felt the rotor and it wasnt hot, and it doesnt seam to slow me down really, MY mechanic friend says its normal but he is a car mechanic. SO I thought Id ask you guys..... Thanks   Bomber Posted on Tuesday, May 09, 2006 - 04:35 pm:        normal, Free -- nothing to sweat at all   F1johny Posted on Wednesday, May 10, 2006 - 08:41 pm:        You should hear my 98 S3 when i shut off and coast or push.... eeehh gawds I was like WTF at first but that was 20k + ago!

That's what the manufacturer provided their use for Don't worry if the wheel spins free at all times, hot or cold.

Take you brake pads out and rough them on the concrete of the drive way(brake the glaze) and while out clean the rotors with rotor cleaner(cheapest you can find will do just fine) with a clean rag ... Spray silicon on the caliper seals and put NAPA/CRC Disc Brake Quit between caliper piston/brake pad(when the piston draws back a little when you release the brake it will pull the pad with it giving you less pad/rotor drag ... Clean and lube the pins(with HIGH TEMP. GREASE) where the Brake Pads slide in and out ... As "PREVENTIVE MAINTENCE" do this a least once a year and you will always have GOOD BRAKES ...   Phat_j Posted on Sunday, May 14, 2006 - 10:32 pm:        WHAT??? I CANT HEAR YOU !!!!!!!!! MY EXHAUST IS TOO LOUD......   Tsispyder Posted on Monday, May 15, 2006 - 05:09 am:        i bleed and change my brake fluid every month along with the oil change....they get dirty fluid quick with all the mountain riding i do lol.
