Ok now to my problem.. i need your advice in getting my front disc of P180 fixed. It all started a year back when i started hearing sound from front disc. got it to a bajaj service where they replaced the disc pads.. OK for now i thought but had that sound stilll though much more silent from the new pad's.
when i'ev asked the same, the 'engineer' or so called guy told me it was normal and would eventually become ok  !!! and so did i believe. Less than a month the same problem started , and this time ' the engineer' changed the oil , put some carburetor cleaner or stuff to make it quiet..ok quiet for now.
Still the rubbing was there !! " and hey there's no arguing with the 'engineer's' cause they always have that " it will be fixed after some run" thing.. 
that was for one month after i again started getting the rubbing noise and this time i could recognize the pad was gone again !!
Here's what i have noticed,
> the pad is rubbing the disc at only some point
> at some point the pad is stuck on the disc , quite apparent as you can feel the lock..
Please advice me, i dont know where to get it fixed and the bajaj 'engineers' are eating away my money without any particular work!!!! 
Is there any place around bangalore where you'd recommend this could be fixed for once ?? |
Hii,,
I think that ur disc(round kind of thing on ur front wheel) is out. Had ur bike earlier met with an accident or fallen somewhere,if yes,the impact mite have caused the disc to tilt a bit,hence ur pads come in regular contact with the disc,thus creating that noise and worning it(pads) out early. You can check this by stationing a screwdriver near ur disc,by keeping only a mm distance and rotate ur wheel,, see if it comes in contact with a particular portion of disc ,,if yes,,then this is where ur problem lies
This is just my insight on this problem, cause a week back i too was facing this similar problem on my p150 and this method is what my mech did.
Experts here may shed some more light on this query ,,,,,, ;-)
