hi i have an r6 im having trouble with my rear brake when ive been riding my brake goes rearly tight on the disk. ive tried cleaning it but ddidnt work any ideas.

cheers

remove the rear caliper.

remove pads from caliper.

remove master cylinder cap.

put thick screwdriver in place of pads.

pump pistons out using brake pedal.

clean pistons with brake or metal parts cleaner, using a stiff small brush to get in around the pistons and seals.

liberally cover the outide of the pistons with red rubber grease.

push the pistons back into the caliper.

grease pins and pad backs/edges with copper grease.

refit pads.

refit caliper.

change fluid and bleed brake.

if this still doesn't work you may need new pistons and seals. this is quite expensive on bluespot calipers.
