    [Help]: Yamaha Fazer rear wheel

    Hello everyone,
    I own a Yamaha Fazer. I bought it in september last year. I have observed that whenever i ride the bike for some time then stop and touch the alloy wheels the front one is at atmospheric temperature while in case of the rear wheel ONLY the spokes and the hub of the wheel is heated alot.
    Is this normal?I dont think that it is normal.What may be the problem and how do i get it fixed?
    The disc brake also heats but i think since it is the brake due to friction this may be normal.

      The alloy wheels get heated when the brake is run.. as in the brake keeps rubbing the drum. In your case the Fazer too has a drum brake at the rear. The brake was probably tightened too much or you have the habit of resting your foot on the brake pedal when riding around.Check the two things.

            thanks man....i guess i rest my foot on the brake pedal too much while riding..since the seating position is such that the bike should have a inclined brake pedal(like it is in pulsar),instead it has got a straight pedal due to which i think it gets pressed....how do i shift the pedal position down???

              Raj.... if you are sure you are comfortable with this position there is no any need to adjust the pedal, the result can easily achieved by just adjusting the play of the brake rod (near the wheel hub). Just loosen two turns, and always mind braking should be within your control
