Rear brakes overheating

[Robti]

ZTT 190 rear brakes over heating, so a few months back had the same and cleaned and greased the slider pins with red grease so today the overheating is back, any ideas ?

Could it be seized callipers or is it the handbrake shoes??

Thanks looks like a visit to biggred for a kit as the piston was a bit iffy the last time but I cleaned it up and thought that was it

Be as well to change the fluid as well if not done so. The heat does not do the fluid any good and can render it useless. Plus the dirt that lies in the cylinder and pipes does not help either.

Dont know if its both sides of the rear wheels or just the one that gets hot. If both then brake related more than likely. If one then check the centre hub for being the hottest place. They can generate a lot of heat and smell when the bearings on the way out, and dont always squeal like a pig. !!
