Motorcycle Repair: Disc brakes, harley superglide, disc brakes


Question
I own a 2004 Harley Superglide FXD.  The front
disc brake sounds like is's rubbing and occasiionally squeaks when applied.  I've checked and no scoring of disc, is this from glazing or?

Thanks

Answer
All disks brakes rub a little. Even the ones on cars. This is nothing to be concerned about. As to the squeeking, the disk probable has some brake dust on it. Clean the disk with some brake cleaner and that might solve the problem. If it still does it you may have to replace the pads.
Good luck and happy riding
