rear break sticking

[dicky on one]

can any on help ,rear break binding. on complet strip down free as a bird ,05 bike sorry .can any on tell me, should there be 2 no pressure plates on the batop of the pads .there is only one at preasent ,but room for two .may be one has being lost at some point .reason for advice .is that a new rear disk and pads fitted on july 6 2007 and arnt there now in only one month and maybe 1500 miles ,

make sure the slide bar is clean, rust free and if needed put a little grease on it

I haven't got any heat displacement/pressure shims on the back of mine

the info on http://www.r1200gs.info/howto/brakepads.html may help.

Good luck

thanks for the reply

the slides are like new and well greased with silicone grease ,the pistons move in and out with finger pressure, but still binding .took a photo of the stripped down breaks ,when i had problems ,just after the six thou service as they had never being touched at the service ,what do we pay all that money for. i notice that the numbers on the pads that i took out were the same [identical ] is this normal or maybe they werent changed when the new disk was fitted ? if so am i looking to deep, as the pads from new would have done 8500 ish miles , also do bmw use brembo pads as geniuin replacement parts ,i know i am going on but hopefully i will get more sence out off u lot the my main dealer

When you say binding, how far can you get the wheel to spin before it stops. My pad rub all the time and I get about 3/4 of a turn. But a lot of this is the added force of the drive shaft as well.
BMW use two different types of calipers, brembo and tokico. The caliper will say BMW on the outside and on whell side will be either brembo or tokico. I have been told that some pads are slightly different. But I've never seen any with a heat displacement/pressure plate on, and I only got my replacements for my brembo's about 3 months ago

I have the same kind of problem with my 06 1200, at about 3/4 of a turn the wheel stops.
I reported this in June at the annual service, and they decided to replace the complete Final Drive,under warranty, claiming that the bracket that holds the caliper was moving. (Charles Hurst Belfast)

To my disbelief, its still the same, i think its just resistance from the final drive

I think i will have another trip to the dealer,to spin a couple of rear wheels, just in the interest of science.

I did a oil change in my final drive at the weekend, while it was disconnected from the final drive I gave the disc a spin, and it spun freely. Reconnected the final drive and there is a lot of resistance.

take the caliper off & try spinning the wheel and see

Remember that in any disc brake system there are no pull-off springs, so the pads will drag on the disc all the time. Perfectly normal.

im not happy with that

so do you put pads in ever month , the springs that i am on about are on the top of the caliper not on the back of pads .there is space for 2 number spaces but only one is there ,

Perhaps if took a little care with your typing people on here would understand what you're on about.
The springs on top of the brake pads are normal. Do NOT put any grease on the pins that the pads slide sideways along. Any grease will pick up dirt and will stop the pads from moving anywhere. Give them a rub with emery cloth. If the caliper is the sliding type, check and grease the pins that the caliper moves on. These should have a rubber boot protecting the pins. Then check, on reassembly, that everything is moving freely.
