sqeak @ front :(

[snailofsatan]

hello! i'm a bit of a noob to motorbike, road on them when i was a kid around fields, but that's about it..

i got a 2003 Yamaha TW125 on the road recently & i'm absolutely loving it :D It's so much fun! but the last couple of days i've noticed a sqeak somewhere near the front of the bike, when i go over 30 or 40 mph it seems to go away, but anything around 20 i can easily hear it.. does it sound like something rubbing, or my front disc brake / suspension or? i'm not sure what else i can think of, it's been out in the rain and the cold, but i'm not sure what it could be :(

any help would be much appreciated :)
+ sorry for posting in English!

kev.

Hi, and

You may not know, but UK is a real Holy Land for the tw... :-)

Don't feel sorry for writting in english, it's an international board and we have our own team of oustanding translator... :-D

I personnaly don't have answere for your problem but I translate as many people could help you... ;-)

Maybe you could  tell us the milleage of your bike?

Salut (...) j'ai une Tw de 2003 depuis peu que j'adore. C'est trop marrant! Mais ces derniers jours, j'ai noté un frottement quelque part à l'avant de la bécane. Quand je roule vers 50/65 kms/h, le bruit semble disparaitre, mais vers 30 kms / h je l'entend bien. C'est un bruit comme quelque chose qui frotte, le frein à disque ou les suspensions...? Je ne vois pas trop ce que ça pourrait être d'autre, quelque, une partie exposée à la pluie et au froid...Bon, ce serait trop sympa si quelqu'un pouvait me venir en aide ! Désolé d'écrire en anglais!

Hello there Kev,

You should check the front brake. The brake pads might rub the disk if it's twisted.

The brake piston might have seized up.

Welcome kev :yes: !

Chek the brake disk as already say.
