Brake Squeal ???

[sandrooney]

We have 2- 2010 TG's and the rear brakes on both squeal like a pig. Anybody got a fix for this.

Thanks,
SR

Either Lyndall or EBC rear brake pads, you could try loosening up some on the parking brake.

The PB is pretty loose. I will take a look at those pads. I will do just about anything I can't stand it anymore.

Thanks a lot,
SR

When I had my Harley's, used to use crocus cloth on the rotors, regularly. Seemed to work for me. Then changed to EBC organic pads, no more squeals!

Take the dam parking brake off and hang it on the garage wall -- thats about all there good for -- I always ran the Lyndal pads would recommend them.

One of the reasons I ditched the HD brake pads, the 2010 I had squealed something awful.

Did the Lyndall or EBC pads cure it ? Thanks

Apply anti-squeak to the back side of the pads.

I have tried that before on different bikes and it never worked. Thanks

Yes the Lyndall pads cured it, I haven't heard any complaints from the folks running EBC pads also. The EBC are a whole lot cheaper than the Lyndall pads.

Did you use the Z pad or the gold plus ? Thanks

gold pads work good..never had them make noise..

 

[Boom]

Have the Lyndall gold pads on front and rear. The only squeal after install was from me---with delight!
I also installed the Lyndall rear ceramic rotors. Nice but not worth the high price. No improvement in stopping power, however, I may never have to replace rear pads.

I have theLydall rotors too..They will probably last forever but really no improvement in stopping power like you said..The pads wear evenly on inboard and outboard the caliper.

I removed mine before I traded in the trike..Even have a extra set that needs machining at the hub area and are brand new..

Gold plus.
