[QUOTE="Donal, post: 1218825, member: 20675"] I think the clue may be [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/162116-freeing-brake-bobbins/?p=1215089"]here[/URL]......... Something went wrong with the caliper which held the pads closed, the rotor got very hot and distorted as a result. The fact that it is very evenly distorted is also significant. As Jeremy pointed out, the Bobbins are designed to prevent this but didn't in this case. Could be a manufacturing defect. My (slightly cynical) guess is this is why Yamaha were so quick to get hold of the defective discs............ [/QUOTE]
