I raced for many years with one disc, yes it will eat pads and turn blue, not a biggie. It's the smaller disc that's probably the cause.

Still, pretty close to the line if a minor change in disk diameter takes you across it.

Maybe laying off givrs bbq may help you in that department walms Could I suppose but the last time I was your weight, I was 10 years old... I don't see that happening any time soon! It's weird it only happened once, at least with my Mustang, brake fade was fairly predictable. I suppose there could have been some contaminant that got the whole thing started??? Anyway, if it happens again, you know I'll chime in on it!

He might have boiled the brake fluid also.

If the lever went to the handlebar, that would indicate boiling fluid. If it was solid but didn't stop the bike as well as usual, it was overheated pads and rotor.

Yes, it sounds like it over heated then.

so it appears my luck is better on the track then the roads! needed to go get smokes and thought hey its somewhat nice why not take the bike! then thought well its kinda cold i might aswell wear my leather jacket that i never ever wear! 20kph into a easy corner and i lost my front tire in the gravely shit on the corner! dumped it on the right side i stayed in one spot but got to hear the lovely sound of my bike skidding accross the ashfault! 2 blinkers scuffed case and a nice x pattern down the side of my pipe!!! picked it up and fired up and road home!! all in the name of motorcycles i guess!! id rather dump it at 20k by fluke then highside a car pulling out!! could have been worse atleast im still smiling from that adrenaline filled trackday
