hot rotor

Just replaced my pads with ceramics but while checking the old ones I noticed that the rotor gets very hot.  I don't mean after heavy braking or anything... just from rolling along. The friction is enough to get the rotor to hot to touch!  Normal?

Sounds normal for it to be a little hotter than you can hold your hand on. But I agree to clean and lube the pins.  Wink

Mine gets pretty warm too.  I notice it when I put my disc lock on it.

What pins?  Is that the single-disc piston ?
BTW, thanks for all the responses.

this has a bit of info in it - the pins are under the rubber boots - that are what the moving half of the caliper slides on - if these are dry or dirty it can make the pads drag a little -
