My friend has a motorcycle. I don‘t know what kind it is, but it isn‘t a Japanese one. It looks too American. He says that he smells burning. I ask him what kind of burning, he says like metal shavings and thinks it‘s his brakes. He checked his fluid the day before and that it was full. He said his brakes squeal but that everyone says it‘s common for this year of bike to do that anyways. What else could it be? I know this is vague, and I‘m sorry. I know a lot about cars, but nothing about motorcycles.
Squealing breaks are common yes but it's not 'normal' Apart from the engine there aren't a lot of big moving parts that interface with each other being able to produce such a smell apart from the brakes. Is it possible that his brake pads are close to gone? I noticed a grindy feel on my bike once and then realized the brake pads were completely gone and I was braking metal-on-metal. Smelly too! :)
