Rear disk brake issues - Update

Took my Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi again back to Khivraj service as the rear disk brake is going bad. The engineers there then worked on the disk system. They opened it, and concluded that the brake pads need to be cleaned. So sand papered the asbestos pads, and even the rear disk. Although the rear brake assembly is different from the front one, they gave it a shot at fixing it (reverse engineered it). They put back everything in the sequence it was taken off. Some more brake oil was lost, but was not topped up today.

After this exercise, the brakes are definitely better, but I would say only 50% efficiency as the original ones. Lets see how it goes now..

BTW, no email update from Bajaj service. Sent a reminder again. My Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi sadly waits for parts..
