Front Disk Brake Squeaking...

[Dan 4RR]

Hi...errm yeah, basically my disk has started to squeak and was just wondering what are the causes of this. I'll be giving the bike a wash later on to see if it's simply dirt & dust on the surface. But until then does anyone know why? Thanks.

Try workshop

But.. its nothing to worry about (usually)

The way to fix it is to take the brake pad off (check its got plenty of material left) and put a small bit of copper slip on the BACK of the pad and on the piston (never get any kind of greese on the disc or brake pad, for obvious reasons) get some brake cleaner spray and a toothbrush and give it a quick going over to get brake dust off it first..

Make sure to torque all the bolts up propperly after, easy
