Taking the exhaust off..or is that the end of a too short exhaust ? :old:

:old: Did the exhaust heat up the brake fluid and do that, or did something get on the inside of hanger and force calipher over against disk.

Its clearly a GT. The caliper looks like its melted, I doubt the exhaust could ever heat the disc or caliper enough to do that sort of damage (without setting fire to the entire bike anyway)
Are there any pads left? Did the caliper seize and drag the inner pad? That's the only options I can think of that would result in this damage.

Yes....the caliper seize and drag the inner pad . :okthumb:

It could have contributed. At the very least that rear brake must have been given a big working... I hardly ever use my rear brake!

more then likely it was not over use but was 'stuck' and not noticed, thought I do not see how you would/could not feel or smell this happening !! :rubeyes: :Ack!!!!!:

stuck rear caliper would probably make the GT feel about as laboured as a normal 250 :hahaha: :hahaha: :hahaha:
