I just changed my brake pads a few weeks ago. But I still have the squeaking sound. So it's not necessarily becoz the brake pads are worn out.

 

I think I will consider getting the brakes cleaned up at the shop, see if it helps stop the squeaking.

 

y2kredbull : All you have to do is to email him. No need to go thru me. But I believe his stuff oso comes in full sets.... not sure, maybe you can try.

If it is a high pitched squealing sound you get when you are applying the brakes lightly, don't bother with finding the reason.

 

The reason is the BRAKE PADS.

 

The theory is that after market pads like sbs, feredo, ebc, etc are not a precise fit in the nissin calipers, so at light pressures, the pad actually vibrates at a high frequency in the brake caliper, causing the noise. SO, BRAKE HARD!

 

Of course, no harm in keeping the brakes clean also.

eh beowolf true true.. my frens 400cc oso have this problem, problem is at low speed under 20km, my bike squeak without even braking.. where can i start to check for problems ? brake disc,pad ? secondly ani of u all pillion regulary gf on regular basis ? i feel powerless man.. like half the torque has been reduce. petrol is half tank, im 70,shes 45. is this normal ?

the last time my bike(tzm) had this problem, the mech said it was dust. he used a very fine sand paper and sand a bit. then wash the brake disc. after that ok.

 

the thing about cutting grooves in normally for the brake pad to perform better when it is wet as the water will be sipped out through the grooves rather than forming a surface of water between pad and disc

Check your wheel bearings. If you go for pressure washing of RVF, the front wheel bearings might seize, as there is no waterproof seal on them, and the grease got washed out.

 

OR, at low speeds, your brake calipers' pistons are sticking in their bores, meaning that the brake pads remain in contact with your brake discs, making the sound. If so, stripping hte calipers and cleaning the pistons and bores throughly is your solution. Also can try to find spray on brake cleaner, although I believe no one import to sell in Singapore.
