What Causes the Front Brake Squeaking on a Motorcycle?
1 Answers
Front brake squeaking on a motorcycle may be caused by tiny sand particles getting between the brake pads and disc, resulting in friction-induced noise. This situation generally does not require repair; simply riding the motorcycle for a while can help the small sand particles fall out. Braking Principle: The working principle of brakes mainly relies on friction. The kinetic energy of the moving vehicle is converted into thermal energy through the friction between the brake pads and the brake disc (or drum), as well as between the tires and the ground, bringing the vehicle to a stop. A good and efficient braking system must provide stable, sufficient, and controllable braking force, along with excellent hydraulic transmission and heat dissipation capabilities. This ensures that the force applied by the driver on the brake pedal is effectively transmitted to the master cylinder and individual wheel cylinders, while avoiding hydraulic failure and brake fade caused by excessive heat. Brake Pad Lifespan: The replacement of brake pads depends on how long they have been in use. Generally, brake pads need to be replaced after covering a distance of more than 80,000 kilometers. However, if you hear a grinding noise from the wheels, the brake pads should be replaced regardless of the mileage.
