Default Re: Rear Brake/Axle Groan...

Somehow I've managed to avoid ever reading this thread.. I didn't want to temp fate.. Would rather not know there is a problem that could happen.. Wouldn't worry and be listening to every little noise that way..

Anyroads.. I scanned through the entire thing quickly.. Saw stuff about replacing pads, resurfacing rotors, sanding stuff, etc... If this IS just noisey pads it may be as simple as modifying the pad just enough to change any harmonic resonance..

The brakes on my motorcycle are some noisy SOBs... They squeal, they groan, they cuss at me, etc... I found that if the leading and trailing edge of the pads are cut off at a 45 degree angle, noises all but go completely away..

Just something to think about...
