Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Brake Question

When I make a right hand turn I notice that I can hear what I am pretty sure is the front brake rotor rubbing on the pads or whatever in the front. It's not a constant rub, more like it is warped or something. After I get back up to speed it seems to go away. Anybody got any ideas on what this is or how to fix it? Can't afford the floating rotors just yet, but would like to fix the problem.

There may not be a problem. These brakes aren't exactly "state of the art". Check everything over for tightness, check for any gunk built up in the caliper, and if you have a lift, raise the front off the ground and give the wheel a spin. You could even fasten a pointer to the fork positioned close to the rotor and see if you can detect any warpage.

I get some rubbing every now and then and I have found that
the rim is out of true and I have to tighten and adjust the
spokes on my front wheel.
