What Causes the Metallic Friction Sound from Motorcycle Brake Pads?
1 Answers
Motorcycle brake pads producing abnormal metallic friction sounds may indicate contact with the brake disc or excessive wear of the brake pads. It is recommended to visit an auto repair shop for replacement. Typically, this sound is faint when the brakes are not applied but becomes louder and more piercing when braking. The braking system consists of a vacuum booster pump, master cylinder, wheel cylinder, brake pads, and brake disc. Brake maintenance methods include: 1. High-temperature protection to prevent corrosion of the braking system, avoid brake pad seizure due to overheating, and eliminate brake squealing; 2. Cleaning oil stains, dirt, and friction dust from brake discs, drums, and all components to ensure proper heat dissipation; 3. Regularly replacing brake fluid; 4. Periodically checking the thickness of brake pads or shoes.
