To check this is correct ride the bike as normal for a few miles, find a route where the last couple 100m are quite or free from traffic stop using the gearbox and rear brake only now check if the discs are hot. In hot I mean you cant touch them wet your finger and tap each disc if there's a hiss there rubbing, if not there fine.
I'd literally just thought of doing this while I was in town this morning, the good ol' spit on the finger test! :lol They were fine. (P.s. thanks for all advice, perfectly valid points).
