I think my back brake is sticking?

Still haven't got round to this, I've tried riding without using the front brake at all for the last few times, the disc is still red hot but not actually got round to doing it yet, temporarily I just blast the inside of the calliper with brake cleaner and don't use the brake, tends to help a lot to start with!
 
Red hot discs with little to no use its not a good sign :p
Are both discs red hot or just one? If it was me I would be ordering a new piston seal kit this week and sorting this weekend, brakes not working correctly will not end well ;)

Well the rear one is hot after riding but that is the only brake I'm using at the moment, trying to use engine compression to slow me steadily to not overuse the rear brake.

The front one is hot from 0% usage! :P

I'm totally reliant on my rear brake at the moment, and I took that apart and cleaned it a few weeks ago (for the first time I've ever done it)! :eek:
