While I ride my Kawasaki Vulcan 800 down the street, I hear a continous grinding sound coming from the front disk brake of the bike. The sound becomes faster as I speed up.As I pull over to take a look, I see that the front brake pad seems to touch the disk. There is no space gap. I don‘t know what to do. The disk doesn‘t seem bent or anything, except that I see a black mark along the edge of the disk that goes half way.
Nope. I like my 80s hatchback and air intakes :P
i think they look cool and classic like the 34 ford roadster real cool
Chances are that the piston is a bit dirty and not retracting. The caliper could be dirty as well. Either one holds the pad up against the disc with light pressure, with just enough drag to make noise. Time to pull the caliper and do some cleaning.
