- VT 50th anniversary
Hi, I own a 50th anniversary VT,
Last cople of days iv started having a few problems with my drivers side rear brake.
It gets extremely hot after only 10mins of highway driving, my handbrake seems to be fine and not sticking, smoke comes from the caliper and it stinks!! however it only happens probably every second time i drive it, but getting worse.
Tonight it happened but this time i could actually hear a 'metal on metal' noise only when I braked.
Brake pedal feels exactly the same as it always has.
Im thinking maybe the caliper is getting stuck on, jammed piston maybe? or maybe theres an issue with my front brakes not working enough and more load is going to the rear, however its only the rear drivers side thats got the problem.
Pls help me i dont know where to start!
Cheers, Chelsea.
