 Posted: 15:10 - 23 Dec 2014 Post subject: Brake Disk Corrosion |
 |
|
Hi guys,
Since its winter now I've noticed that my brakes have started to squeak really badly. Mainly the front but the rear at very low speeds. Its kept in the dry overnight and under cover during the day so its not too exposed. However my brake disks are showing signs of surface corrosion. Not on the actual pad surface but towards the mounts and the very edge. Is there something I can do to stop this? Im just concerned that it may get worse, and then it might get expensive.
The disks are original 2010 Kawasaki with plenty of wear left in them too. Anyone got any suggestions?
Cheers Guys!  ____________________ Currently Riding: CBR125-R7 (and having too much fun doing it) + Kawasaki Z750 (She's called Clementine for a reason!) |

Sandpaper or brillo pad on the discs.
Squeaking, I'd give the pistons a clean. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Use a thin smear of copper grease on back of pads, as already mentioned.

My brake discs show slight corrosion overnight. Scooter used every day, left uncovered at all times. But brake discs are a consumable. Unless the corrosion is bad enough to affect your ability to remove the disc down the road (and that implies affecting the fasteners rather than the disc proper), I wouldn't worry about it. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
