[QUOTE="FMX_novice, post: 137095, member: 21243"] Your brake fade might not be the result of boiling hydraulic fluid, but maybe just the friction and heat caused be the pads and disc rubbing from a lot of use. Once the brake disc gets hot the pad cant stop it because the heat turns the pads into dust. If you watch a Formula 1 race and watched a driver go from 7th to 2nd gear you can literally see 4 clouds of black dust come up from the brakes. On a dirtbike it isnt really visible but all i can say is if you lock up your wheels you wont have quite the braking performance but your disc and pads wont suffer brake fade or wear nearly as fast. Locking up wheels when going more then 3rd gear or leaning into turns is not recommended unless your very skilled with those manuvers. [/QUOTE]
