[QUOTE="Makuna, post: 953687, member: 9768"] Got new ties put on (thanks NW Tech meet), and 90 degree valve stems. I got them home and after I assembled it and took it out for a ride. I left the saddle bags off as I wanted to check the install after a short tide. Well the short ride turned into 40min (wow, new tires, love em). when I got back I reached down to see how much easier it was to reach the valve and notice the rim was warm. So I check and the rear disk break was hot; and so was the pumpkin (rear drive axel). Hot enough I could only leave my finger on for about 4 seconds before I was afraid of burning myself. The front disc was not even warm so it wasn't due to spiritied riding. I didn't smell anything burning. Should it be getting this hot? I am pretty sure I assembled the rear axel correctly; any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
