What Causes the Brake Noise on the Leoncino 500?
1 Answers
The brake noise on the Leoncino 500 may be caused by oil contamination on the brake pads or severe wear of the brake blocks. Below are the detailed explanations of the causes and solutions: Oil contamination on the brake pads: Brake pads are generally composed of steel plates, adhesive insulation layers, and friction blocks. Their material is prone to oil contamination. During braking, if the brake shoes slip against the brake drum due to oil contamination, it can produce a sharp, piercing sound. The brake pads can be removed and cleaned with alcohol to wash the brake drum and brake shoes, removing the oil contamination. To further increase the friction of the brake pads, you can sand the surface of the brake pads with sandpaper, which not only eliminates brake noise but also enhances braking friction, improving braking performance. Severe wear of the brake blocks: If you need to apply more force to brake and the process is accompanied by abnormal noise, it may indicate severe wear of the brake blocks. It is advisable to visit an after-sales service or repair shop as soon as possible for inspection and replacement of the brake blocks. Continuing to use them could lead to dangerous situations.
