What I found.... Frt brakes

[Bubber]

Well I took the frt brakes off last night because my wife said she heard a noise while we were in Cody.

Turns out the brake pads were fine about 3/16" on each side.:banana:

 

Pads looks like sintered pads to me and they looked like metal. Hard as heck.

Blew out the calipers and pads, sanded the face of the pads and reinstalled.

While I had the pads off I compressed the pistons to make the installation easier. it was, but when I applied the frt brakes there was nothing. Keep pumping the brakes and it got real solid like it should be.

I am thinking that the noise was just the normal light draging of the pads on the rotor. They seem to be floating caliper so I was not concerned. Rode it in this morning and the brakes were never so solid. Being hard of hearing in top and bottom ranges, I never heard any noise from the brakes.

 

Headed to Madison in the morning to meet up with wife and grandkids, I am stopping by EagleEye's on the way down he is about 20 or so miles from Madison. Yupper is hidding out there also with his wife so it will be nice to see them.

 

Have a great weekend and keep the shinny side up.

Did you apply a little "anti-squeal" lubricant to the metal-metal contact points?

Boy... Sure know where I stand. You ride all the way to Madison to visit with Eagle Eye and Yupper, but you won't come out in the rain to visit with me when I pass right by your place... Well, just see if I save your place next to the rooster this year... :rotfl:

 

Have a safe ride and say hey to every one.
