the sanity & insanity dat i was given & are mine only.....
both exist together without negating each other..... -
i oso got tis prob. change brake pad oso like dat... probably its wet... kena water or wat... c after some time got tis prob anot...
-
it is because of the brake pad is too hard. change daytona brake pad, see still got sound?
-
Had the same prob with my old bike.... but mine was major case... the break pump was gone. If it is not difficult to step on the rear break then nothing is wrong. Do wat Zeahs recommended.

maybe it's your bake disc?? or your bake lining wearing out??
-
i got no problem with my previous NSR 150 with this ... i am using original brake pad ... maybe it is due to that your brake disc is out of alignment ...Originally posted by Rep150:maybe it's your bake disc?? or your bake lining wearing out??

Use of lower grade brake pads have this problem... same thing applies for my brakes.

ahhh, i realize my bike so many cheap things.Originally posted by Ah^Huat:Use of lower grade brake pads have this problem... same thing applies for my brakes.

What about phantom150 guys?? I have this kind of problem also..Need to go and check brake pad is it??
How much does the brake pad cost??
My brakes only squeak when it's raining liao.. Not a problem is it?? -
original harley brakes are even worse! most riders change to after-market ones.. but the ones on the VRSCA are improved (different from standard harleys).Originally posted by daniuge:ahhh, i realize my bike so many cheap things. sianzzzz got money buy harley

Try and check the following...Originally posted by heavenkid:i riding nsr150,hw can everytime when i ride the bike for sometime,the squeaking soung come frm both the brake??i bring to the shop but they say nothing wrong.can u guys help?
1)Have your brake pads worn out?
- If your pads are still usable, try to use an air jet to blow away the dusty remains on the pads. remember to blow the dust 'away' from the calliper not 'into' the calliper. But change pads if it has worn out.
...if problems still persist...
2)Have your brake fluid run out? check the following...
- Is there a leak in your brake cables? Change the cables if there's a leak.
- Is the brake fluid grade correct? Change the brake fluid if wrong fluid is used. (some experienced mechanics can tell the grade by the fluid viscousity and colour)
- Has your brake cable started to expand beyond tolerable range? Change the cables if this happens.
...if nothing wrong...
3)Check that your disc is not warped. Check the alignment. Though problems regarding disc is unlikely, but still must check with a dial gauge. If this occurs, then good luck. A disc is costly.
... if nothing wrong...
4)Remove your brake callipers and send for servicing. Most likely your brake calliper piston is jammed. Don't worry, this is very common. The whole servicing costs about $20/= Then if you decide to change the brake fluid, you can consider the following...
a) Motul RBF
b) Rockoil 5.1
But of course these are more expensive. But if you don't intend to go on race, you can use a normal dot 3/4 fluid like most NSR150SP uses. I recommend unity motor at alexandra to do these servicing of excel cycles (look for big boon) But be prepared to pay a liitle more for their services.
Have a nice ride.

for normal road riding, the high boiling point of dot 5 fluids are not really needed. more for track use. for road use, it's better to use dot 3 or 4, because they don't absorb moisture as fast as dot 5 fluids.Originally posted by MS:4)Remove your brake callipers and send for servicing.

winston, do you wrench your own bike? btw i'm sure you already know what i've said above... just clarifying in case anyone asks what dot 3, 4 or 5 mean..

you never know when you'll need that extra braking powerOriginally posted by l3stat:for normal road riding, the high boiling point of dot 5 fluids are not really needed. more for track use. for road use, it's better to use dot 3 or 4, because they don't absorb moisture as fast as dot 5 fluids.
anyway i tot dot 5.1 is more resistant to water than 3 or 4? something about it being synthetic base or other.

er i can't say exactly what it's made of, but the thing i'm sure about is that it attracts moisture faster than 3 or 4, but the boiling point is unbeatable... what fluid are you using in your NSR? lemme go double check on the dot 5.1 thing...

Thanks man!!! I dont realize there's an industrial park opposite queensway.. anyway thanks !!Originally posted by l3stat:it's the industrial park opposite queensway shopping centre.. the entrance to the part is located along alexandria road. -
From my personal experiences, dun ever get your bike repaired from Alexandria villiage. There the ppl don't really have the standards. Just some cheap labour no standard malaysians that only noe to hack and wack your poor bike. I mean ALL THE SHOPS IN ALEXANDRIA VILLIAGE.Originally posted by shah_1708:Thanks man!!! I dont realize there's an industrial park opposite queensway.. anyway thanks !! -
juz for your information.. i read an article from somewhere on net..
never mix dot 3/4 brake fluid with dot 5.. they are of different base..
result of damage: forgotten..
i'll try to find it again and post the URL here..

You may be fast, faster than wind, sound or even faster than light..
