Here are the solutions for the sharp noise when braking in a Sagitar: 1. Squealing noise: If it's a squealing noise, check if it indicates that the brake pads are nearly worn out (the warning tab is making the sound). If they are new pads, then check if there are any foreign objects caught between the brake disc and the pads. 2. Dull noise: If it's a dull noise, it's mostly an issue with the brake caliper, such as worn sliding pins or a detached spring plate. 3. "Hissing" noise: If it's a "hissing" noise, then there could be multiple issues, including problems with the caliper, brake disc, or brake pads. If the noise persists, first check if there is any brake drag, as poor caliper retraction can cause prolonged friction between the disc and pads, leading to noise under certain conditions. Then check if there are any foreign objects stuck between the pads and the disc. If the pads are new, inspect the brake disc for grooves, as localized friction can cause noise. If the disc is fine, consider whether the brake pads are too hard or if the noise reduction shims were installed incorrectly.
