Thanks for the reply 2LZ. The first time the rear locked up I was only a block from the house so it wasn't boiled fluid. The other time occurred a couple miles from home and after only a few normal stops. I think the boiled fluid was the result of pads dragging, not the cause. I have since changed the fluid.
On a slightly different note, I noticed on the CSC website they show an entirely different rear pad than what's on my bike. Same with the rear brake tutorial. It shows a two piston caliper and pads like in the parts section. So I hesitated in ordering pads. Do you think a switch to sintered pads on the rear (I have them on front) would help?
Interesting idea about the paint on the front hub. Gerry never mentioned it to me in our discussions. I'll check that when I get a replacement disc.
