rear brakes

[alselec]

I installed new rear brakes on my R3 and they seem to run hot on the disc in the beginning, figured cause they were new, not bad now. If I use them, after a few stops, they still do get pretty hot, is this normal?

Thanks,

It means I guess other heavy bikes, Harleys etc, must do the same thing.
