My buddy has a 99 RM250. Lately, his brakes have been locking up and need to be slightly bled before they let loose. After that is done, it will work ok for awhile, but it's a pretty scary thing to ride with. Thankfully he can feel it drag before it's totally locked up.
This is what we've done so far:
1) new fluid, multiple times, high temp fluid
2) new caliper
3) new brake line
4) wheel bearings
The only thing we haven't replaced is the master cylinder.
Note: his rear wheel isn't very true, when I ride behind him, it wobbles, not extremely bad, but it wobbles enough to see it plain as day.
What do you think? Could it be that his wheel is wobbling and heating up the pads/fluid? Could it be the master cylinder? His rotor is fine, no wobble and has plenty of wear left (along with his pads).
We've been messing with this for quite some time and would appreciate any insite.
Thanks!
