Hey Guys,
Just a quick one...
Have noticed a 'scraping' noise coming from the rear of my R5, and im trying to think what is the problem.
I 'think' its one of the rear pistons in the rear brakes seizing up and keeping the contact between the pads and disc going, as when you increase speed, the 'scraping' noise also speeds up.
I've had the rear brakes briefly apart and the passenger side piston was good, easy to get out and put back in, but the drivers side was a right pain in the arse to wind back in.
Opinions?
Think its probably that and needs a further looking at?
Cheers,
Luke :)
