749 Brake Judder/Loud Noise Help Please.. On way home earlier, on pulling my front brake, I'm getting a serious vibration & noise... Any ideas what it could I ride a 03 749bp 13k miles.. (I've owned since Jan 2012) so not added to many miles yet... Thanks in advance |

Glazed pads? Steering head bearings? |
Thanks for the info... Whats Glazed pads? |
It's more likely to be brake dust build up in your brake calipers stopping the pistons from moving freely. If you haven't already, get the calipers off and give them a damn good clean with an old toothbrush and some brake cleaner to get rid of all the crud. For glazing, check your pads - if there's a rainbow sheen on them then they may be "glazed", but you can put a sheet of fine sand paper on a piece of glass (to ensure it's flat) and lightly take the sheen off. They'll be good as new. |
As always, work gets in the way of everything.... Took Front brakes off yesterday & as per your suggestion the 2 pistons RH side & 1 Piston on LH side (as you sit on the bike) had seized.... Took alot of cleaning to bring them back to life. went for a short ride today & all appears to be fine... Finger crossed it does the job. Thanks for the heads up Regards JA |
