uk13iker Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Possibly a bearing put your front brake on and compress the forks a few times see if there your problem. Pull your bike onto its side stand so front wheel is off the floor easier if you have someone to do it, and spin the front wheel see if there's any movement will maybe feel it if you out your Hand around the forks. Then hold the wheel at the top and bottom on a full lock and check if there's any play. Finally check your head bearings are tight.

megawatt Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Probably anti squeal shims between pads and pistons. Put some copperslip on em. Obviously don't get it near pad material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Checked the bearings and from what I can tell they are fine Took the pads out the brakes they was covered in shit So gave them a clean and put them back Ordered some copper slip and will put that on wen it arrives Will see how it is later Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
