Squealing brakes ???

Black111. You said that you chamfered the leading pad??????????????? in the old old old days when drums were the norm on bikes and cars it was normal to chamfer the leading brake shoe, I have never heard of anyone doing the same to a brake pad it is a complete waste of time.
I might be thinking along a different line if so please correct me.;)
 
Hi Scot... your right , but as the noise was so loud and really , really bugging me l was willing to try anything... especially as l had already done everything else l could think of...it was desperation..especially after 5000 miles.. :)

Pad composite makes the difference. I'm going to try the high end EBC pads. :mad: I still need to get the other half and be ready for a front tire replacement. I mistakenly believed the sellers knew I needed two sets when specifically given was for TRIII fitment. On the Metz front tire; I got 13k out of the first and hope to get the same or better out of the second Metz. Keeping the pressure up on the front seems to have considerable effect on prolonging of front tire wear. Cupping seams to be a early indication. Keeping the pressure up seams to keep the issue at a minimum with the Metz. I'm going to fit a Dunlop Elite (I have it on hand with a liberal dose of dyna beads as well) and see how well it survives the long haul.

Should a body go through the trouble of having a set of rotors drilled or slotted I contend that chamfering pads might be a right move.

Particularly due to the noise created at cruise speeds not to mention, upon brake applications. I find drilled and slotted rotors on cage crafts are a big help. But! On lighter vehicles the noise created can be...unwanted.
