April 18, 200818 yr That is interesting! Quite a bit heavier though! About 1lb or near 1/2 kilo, Good call JM! Maybe it is time for me to market my new anti-squeal kit, comes with 6oz can of WD-40 to shut up the brakes, and a small roll ov Gorilla tape to shut up the rider, as he tries to scream his way down the hill! Only a tenner! Edited April 18, 200818 yr by copemech

Only a tenner! Young Ben McIntosh used that kit ONCE, and forgot the Gorrilla Tape. I think Doug was a little more specific the next time when he told him to "spray it down with WD-40"
April 19, 200818 yr Author Thanks for the input guys! I will check the alignment and give the "brake quiet" a try before switching rotors.
May 22, 200818 yr Author Okay, so I pulled the rotor of and broke the glazing w/ some 400 sandpaper, roughed up the pads a bit w/ some 80 grit, and applied the brake quiet goo. Just rode it yesterday for the first time. It stopped the squealing... for about 1/2 an hour. Ahhhh! While I had it apart I checked to make sure the rotor was floating and it appeared to be fine.
May 11, 200917 yr Author Well, a year later, the problem is solved. I installed one of the new style Sherco rotors from an 09 along with some new red Galfer pads. I have been riding it for about a month and the squealing is gone!
August 17, 200917 yr So from what I am reading here, The front disc on my 02 should be loose and "clanging" around? It's supposed to be like that, it's not broken and I'm not going crazy??
