copemech Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) 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, 2008 by copemech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberfraznb Posted April 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Thanks for the input guys! I will check the alignment and give the "brake quiet" a try before switching rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberfraznb Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 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.

uberfraznb Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 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!

voleurz Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 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?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
