rear rotor troubles??

[hinrik]

I have a 97 vt executive and have had a lot of troubles with my rotors, which isnt rare for vt's, but my rear rotors always seem to be hotter than the front rotors, i can tell by feel, and they warp alot quicker than the front. Is this Normal and if not what could be causing it??
Thanks for your time.

Yep, we just put DBA slotter all round on the VT, done about 800k's and shes still smooth as. Theirs a whole thread on the brake shudder, down the page started by me, it has alot of information about VT shudder. thread is called "Eliminating Brake Shudder"

Make sure your handbrake isn't adjusted up too much, if the shoes are in contact with the drums it will heat the rotors up. Check the condition of the calipers too, make sure the slides are free and that the pads are pulling away from the rotor when you take your foot off the brake. Easy way to tell is look at the pads, they should be worn nice and evenly and the same thickness inner and outer.

If you require new rotors, I can hook you up with those.
