djh3 Posted June 9, 2019 Share #2 Posted June 9, 2019 Yup only once or twice. The times I can remember was rain ride then parked in garage. I'm guessing a very clean, high humidity, then a very warm and damp garage. A quick ride, drag brake a bit all gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted June 10, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 10, 2019 I doubt that you need to worry about that. My Dodge Magnum brake rotors rust quickly if it sits for a few days and the pads make a light scrubbing sound when I back out of the driveway and brake. But, it has 115,000 miles on it and the brakes are original. Yeah, it's time for a brake job but they have really lasted especially for a heavy powerful car like a Hemi Magnum.

cowpuc Posted June 11, 2019 Share #4 Posted June 11, 2019 I notice this less when I run Organic pads (which I love). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted June 11, 2019 Share #5 Posted June 11, 2019 Ceramics have longer wear and less dust, but due to the compound my experience shows more wear on the rotor. This is on autos. Something has to wear right? I run the sintered pads on the bike, which for all purposes I guess would be a semi-metallic. I had some carbon ones on the rear of the RSV trying to help with the occasional lock up. Those guys liked so heat before gripping, so in twisties you had to sort of drag the rear brake. At any rate its not a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
