So today I removed the caliper so from the front and rear of the bike, cleaned out all the crud and installed brands new pads all round, copper slipped all the bolts as usual, rotated my bobbins and also cleaned every hole on the disks, I stopped counting at 160 but every one had brake crud in it, always on the outside of the hole (centrifugal force I guess) so now I am one happy camper.
Two hours well spent laid on the floor of my garage on the carpet.

Clean, are you feeling ok? That's not like you. :mfr_lol:
I popped the calipers off and the crud inside was bad.
