Guest Hodgy Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Chain?.........Brake pads? Was it being pushed backwards? perhaps it was because the chain was revolving the wrong way and taking up any slack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest markchris Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Kawaskis are infamous for having poor cush drive rubbers, sounds like it could possibly be those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nigelf Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 its more than lightly the disk pads if it was ridden in the wet and parked for a while before being put back into the garage. they could have been stuck to the disk with road crap, especially this time of year where the stuff they put in the grit is molassus (sugar) to aid sticking the grit to the road. this can act like glue when heated and cause the pads to adhere to the disk. Once the disk is rotated they click free and on my pan cause a clonk sound.PS as an aside the mollasus they add actually makes the roads slippery!Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
