Is the rear brake going away due to boiling fluid?ive rode the 125 and had no problems-have you tried motul brake fliud??maybe a fin to bring cooling air to the caliper would help.

hey marcus i am going to put motul in tommorrow , but they have never stopped as well as older cr 's. the rotor is blue and the pads halfway gone
and this bike has never seen a muddy trail only clean tracks .
I know the fluid will help as i have been loyal to it in the past . i am thinking that the small pad area is just not large enough. because the rotor is turning
deeper blue every time i ride.I feel like the fliud is not the problem and the brake does not fade it is weak all the time . my past cr 's never turned the
roter blue . :think
I will reply again tommorrow

from your description the rear brake is definitely overheating. after cooking the rear brakes as you describe the fluid must be completey flushed with new fluid. have you tried adjusting the pedal height to prevent accidently dragging the brake? I know that I have a really bad habit of overheating the back brake on anything I ride from having my toe on the rear brake lever. Motul fluid will help some.

Are your brake pads wearing evenly? If not, your caliper is not floating an might be dragging the pads on the rotor. Grease the pins and check for side-to-side play with the wheel off. Unless you are dragging the rear bake, there is no reason this should be happening.
