That's all I can stand can't stand no more...

Picked up the Rocket today after getting the cam chain tensioner replaced, I noticed on the way home I had no rear brake, this is what I found when I got home, the rotor hot as **** and brake locked up

That sucks I think you have a crack head for a mechanic and the dealer sucks also!

Jim, I kind of have to agree with Jag. That could be caused by the caliper floating pin is not loose enough to float.

Why would the rear brake caliper carrier be messed with when replacing the cam chain tensioner?

 

[Joesmoe]

I have no idea if this makes any sense -- I purchased the manual for the bike, and took it to a mechanic I trust, handed them the manual, and asked if they would work on it if I needed. It's a Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki dealership, and I had them work on my Aprilia Scarabeo 500 scooter. The attitude and integrity of the people there gives me confidence to keep going.

 

[breeze]

maybe wrong is the rotor loose or warped

 

[R3inCC]

I can't see how the tensioner replaced would affect the rear rotor, unless he had to remove brake lines or something to get to the tensioner...

Lot of people ride with the size twelve boot on the pedal?????????????

I have followed Jim for many miles and never have seen an unintended or unexpected brake light.
"Supposedly" this issue had been fixed for him awhile back.
Can you say, NEW MECHANIC tis the best suggestion so far I reckon.

 

[TOMCAT]

New Dealership/mechanic is exactly what I suggested
