How Do I Correct A Squeeking Front Brake On My Motorbike?
I’m assuming it squeaks when you apply the brake. I’m not a bike expert, but I have fixed a similar problem on a car disc brake by lightly sanding the rotor and disc with 200-400 grit paper. Might also want to try cleaning it with “brake cleaner” or water from your garden hose first. In cars, it’s usually a build up of brake dust or the pad material being “semi-metallic” (which I don’t recommend anymore)

On A Motorbike Jump, If You Are Nose High And Firmly Apply Brake, Nose Lowers..what Happens If You Accelerate?
Friend of mine and I are in a big debate about this. He (being a motorbike rider) knows that a brake application (of the rear wheel only) can correct a nose high attitude in a jump. Me (being a helicopter pilot) suspects, then, that the opposite force, acceleration (of the rear wheel only) would RAISE the nose. He says, “hmmm…doubt it.” Anybody know?
How Do You Work Out The Brake Horsepower (bpm) Of A Motor Vehicle Like A Car , Van , Motorbike , Lorry Etc ?
As the other guy said find a rolling road and have it tested but if you are of a nervous disposition about your vehicle go 4 a walk when they are testing it cos it don,t sound or look pretty and also be prepared 2 be a bit disappointed about the results its good if its better than u think but on the other hand if it is not as pokey as u think it is it hurts especially if u have put a lot of cash into it I once had a Suzuki gsx 1100 back in about 1978 got lots of parts fitted you know the usual kit nice 4 into 1 exhaust system etc.etc and after spending a good few quid on it took it up 2 Santa pod on a run what u brung day and got my bottom well kicked , But luckily there was a mobile dyno testing firm and after my first 2 runs after getting caned by a tuned LC 350 and a 250 gamma Suzuki I decided some thing was maybe not well with the world ! so I managed 2 get a spare slot in the test wagon and to my horror found it was actually 25 bhp down on standard I was given a lovely print out showing mid range power loss mind u losing 2 a tuned 2 the balls LC350 is no disgrace the gamma was also cool so no complaints fair enough lads you whipped me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Motorbike Making Tapping Vibrations Against My Foot When I Use Back Brake Sometimes? Everything Works Ok. Why?
its a gn250 and i have recently noticed this. it doesn’t always happen and to be frank i don’t use my back brake that much. the fronts three quarters of my stopping power! its like a slow subtle tapping against my foot. its doesn’t always happen. maybe just on the down hill. could it be the motor just..um vibrating. I like to be paranoid where my baby is concerned. oh and shes had her first service and is well maintained and all.

I Have A Question Refering To A Fmcsa Motorcycle Brake Systems Chart.?
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) motorcycle brake systems chart found at:
http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/571.122.htm
I wish to know at what distance my motorcycle should be stopping – meaning I am unsure of which column I should be referencing from the chart found at the bottom of the page.
