brake Squeal

<< < (2/2)

SteveD CB500K0:
Rob is correct. You don't hear sqealing on modern bikes (not mine anyway!)

I think that a modern computer-designed caliper has a resonant frequency well away from that likely to be encountered in normal use.

Mr Honda never had this technology in the 60's.

JonnyB:
I too agree with Steve and Rob, loads of conditions lead to break squeal, from worn discs to dusty pads, and modern sintered pads only add to the problem because they contain metal fragments, thats why you have keep changing your discs on your car every so often.

You may find you're banging your head on the wall with this one, you could change the pads and find the squeal goes away only to find it return again after some heavy braking or after a few thousand miles of wear.

My solution, clean all the parts with break cleaner, Copper grease on the back of the pad. Then put up with the noise it may go away. :-[
