FZ750 – Needs Brakes

Further inspection reveals brake problems. The rear rotor is badly scored. I suspect the pads are also shot because of the dragging sound I can hear when I turn the back wheel by hand. I’m hoping that is the cause, in any case. It could also be a bad bearing. The local bike salvage yard wants around $100 CDN for a rotor in good shape but I managed to find one in the Ottawa area on eBay so I bought that. Pads were also easy to come by on eBay. I’m going to replace them all. This bike will be in tip-top condition when I put it on the road.
