Just got a couple of questions that hopefully aren't too dumb. I had the bike (2004 FZ6-S) up on the centre stand today idling in neutral, and noticed when I revved the engine a bit that the rear wheel would turn when I gave it some revs. Not much, but over about 4000rpm the wheel would slowly rotate maybe 1/4 of a turn. It's stationary at idle however. Could this be an indication of a slipping clutch? The clutch lever only engages when almost fully out as well.
Another thing - after a ride of any distance, when I get home the rear brake disc is too hot to touch, but the front is cold. This is despite me using the front brake for 90% of braking. The wheel rotates OK - no problem pushing the bike at all - and I can't feel any resistance from the brake, but I'm wondering if the caliper could be sticking a little.
