What Causes the Abnormal Noise from Motorcycle Disc Brakes?
1 Answers
Abnormal noise from motorcycle brake pads may be caused by rust or wear on the brake pads. Below is an introduction to abnormal noise in motorcycle brakes: Introduction to the causes of brake pad noise: Rust on the brake pads: If the motorcycle has not been ridden for a long time or the brake pads get wet and rust during riding, a sharp abnormal noise may occur. This noise usually disappears after using the brakes several times. Brake pad wear: Disc brake pads are prone to wear. When the brake pads are excessively worn, this phenomenon occurs. In this case, new brake pads must be replaced to prevent damage to the brake disc. Solutions for abnormal brake noise: Remove the brake pads and locate the limit spring plate, which is embedded in the caliper. Note the clips on the sides and remove them by hand or with a flathead screwdriver. Take out the spring plate and slightly bend its curvature upward with needle-nose pliers. Then, inspect the brake pad fixing screw, lightly sand it smooth with fine sandpaper, apply grease, and reinsert the brake pad. Since the curvature has increased, you may need to press the brake pad down by hand. Reinsert the brake pad fixing screw and reassemble everything as it was. Finally, apply a bit of grease to the fixing screws and tighten them.
