Front Disc brake squeals - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

I got the Yamaha Gladiator SS 4 days back, I can hear some noise from the front disc brake. I can even hear it when I put the bike on the center stand move the front wheel.

I searched many threads here, some posts say that its okay for new bike to make such noise while some posts say that the problem should be fixed asap.

Should i go to the service center and get this fixed.

Brother no need to worry about the sound.In new bikes its normal,Wait for 1 month and then see ,that sound will go automatically.The same thing was happened in my unicorn also now its ok

probably dust between the disc pad and the disc rotor. Try and clean it using an air blower or something. or best, ride it into a puddle of water

, should clean it .

Not probably. But certainly.

It can happen anytime whether it's new or old. This a very common incident that happens with my bike. Nothing to worry. The dust particles will go away normally.
