What Causes the Squeaking Sound in Motorcycle Brakes?
1 Answers
Brake noise may be caused by worn brake pads. Here are the specific details: Brake Pads: Brake pads are inherently consumable items, so they become thinner with vehicle use. When the friction layer is nearly depleted, an alert mechanism—the brake pad's limit metal piece—located at the edge of the pad will scrape against the brake disc, producing a sharp metallic friction sound. This serves as a warning to the driver that the brake pads need replacement. Precautions: Rust on Brake Pads: If the motorcycle has been idle for a long time or the brake pads get wet and rust, a sharp, unusual noise may occur. Worn Brake Pads: Disc brake pads are prone to wear. When excessively worn, this phenomenon appears, necessitating immediate replacement of new brake pads to prevent damage to the brake disc.
