Cosmo 10 Posted December 29, 2017 On my 01 KTM 400 the outer pad of the rear brake stuck on and scorched itself. I took the wheel off and I cant push the piston in at the caliper. If I open the bleeder it goes in smoothly. This seems kinda weird to me! Any tips, ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 589 Posted December 30, 2017 I burned up a front disk and pad set on my KLX because the master cylinder was not operating properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.JAJA 409 Posted December 30, 2017 Is there play in the linkage to the master cylinder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
