Re: [ST] Rear brake--problems with-- not technique

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave it sure sounds to me like maybe that scottoiler is oiling more 
than the chain!!!!  If I was you I'd try this: Disconnect the scott 
oiler, or turn it off. Pull the rear caliper and check for oil on the 
pads. Even if you don't see any I'd spray the shit of of the 
pads/caliper with brake cleaner( make suer not to get the cleaner on 
any painted parts) Then ride the bike for 100 or so miles and see if 
it's better.. If it is better but not a lot then I'd change the rear 
pads and either dump the scott oiler or figure out some way to keep 
it from oiling your rear brake. If there is no difference then I'd 
see the dealer. And of course make sure there's brake fluid in the 
reservoir.
