Is it just me or does the stock solid front rotor cause some pad knock back?
At the last track day I went to it felt like the front brake lever never started braking at the same place each corner. Sometimes the lever would be right there and the front brake would bite immediately and other times it felt like it took half the lever travel to get the pads to start biting.
I think you might attribute that behavior to pad knockback? Flexing of the components pushing the pads away from the rotor a tiny amount.
Would the upgraded floating rotor for the cup bike fix this? Anyone with experience want to chime in?
I don't think it was a fluid boiling issue, had just replaced the fluid with Motul RBF600. The lever would be nice and hard if pumped up at a stop hot or cold. It was never a mushy lever just a lot of uptake at times.
