I am getting a rotating noise from my front brakes. It clicks while riding, if I pull the brake leaver just a lttle bit it goes away. I recently had my fork seals checked. I was told that the problem with the fluid leaking was actually down at the front wheel. While he was working there he told me there was a pin turned wrong on the calipers. Not sure what he was talking about but he corrected it. Now I have the cliking noise.

What's the procedure of bleeding hydraulic disc brake of a motorcycle

Hi,,best to get a good self bleeding tube, a small jar, and a spanner for the bleed nipple on the brake caliper,and the right brake fluid for your bike,
undo resurver cap,then put the bleed tube on the bleed nipple,put the other end into the jar,then put about a inch of brake fluid into the jar so it covers the end of the tube,then fill the brake resurver up near the top,then open the bleed nipple on the caliper only enougth to let the fluid come out,now pull the brake leaver in slowly,you should now see fluid going down the tube into the jar(if it dosnt open the blead nipple a bit more),if you can see fluid going down the tube into the jar,let brake leaver out slowly,keep repeating the prosedure untill you see all air bubbles gone or if you want to replace all the fluid untill you see the clean fluid coming through,dont forget to keep the fluid in the resurver topped up other wise you will draw air bake into the system and will have to start all over again,if you have two discs on the front do the one firthest away from the resurver first,when you have finnished the bleeding make shore the fluid thats in the resurver is in between the min and max marks,hope this helped a bit.

How do I fixed if my car hand brake stuck 2001 toyota coralla manual

There are several things that can make a hand brake stick on. It possible the cable attached to the leaver has come off it guide. There is a cable running from each rear wheel to the handbrake leaver , a inner cable running through a outer housing , chick that the inner cable is free to move back and forward . if all the cables are free to slide adjust the rear brakes and hand brake as instructions . Slacken off the hand brake cable adjustment. Jack up the rear wheals and adjust the brake shoes till the brakes lock, then back off till the wheels are free to turn. Then pull the hand brake leaver on two clicks and adjust the hand brake cable till the rear wheels just start to bind, release the hand brake leaver and check the wheels are free to turn.

Clicking noise goes away when braking

Look at the constant velocity joints on that side. When the rubber boot tears it lets road dirt in which fouls the grease and allows premature wear on the cv joint components.

Whistling noise from rear of my 1998 Old LSS

If noise is only when you brake, i would strip the brakes down and check for debris, lipped discs, cracked oads or shoes.

Squeaking front brakes, The pad thickness is good. How can I resolve this issue?

Had same pronlem w/2000 Road King. Noise would go away when front brakes gently applied. Remove front calipers, remove pads and clean throughly to remove any dirt, sand, road grime or rocks. Road test to see if problem goes away. If not, jack it up enought to get front tire off the floor. Rotate fron tire. Should rotate smoothly w/no hard spots. If it does not you have a piston sticking in one caliper. Dual discs if front? Don't know which side is dragging? Start cold, go for a 10-15 minute ride not using front brake and feel each rotor comparing diff in temperature. Careful they can be darned hot. Anyway the warmest one is probably sticking. H-D has a repack kit w/special lube for the pistons. Lotsa Luck.

We have a 2001 suzuki ignis; on pulling away there is a rotating noise coming from the front nearside when under load, but disappears on reaching 30 mph. there is no obvious excessive wheel play.

Disk brakes can stick a bit in the brake position and often do not release properly unless you use a good anti-seize on the bolts where some steel sleeves slide on.  I use the copper anti-seize, it is a higher quality.  If an amateur worked on your brakes last... then it was probably overlooked.   Also if you spun your tires on some gravel you can get some stones up inside where they should not be.  They can scrape and make noise.    Also your CV Joint could be acting up... when it does you will have vibrations at certain speeds.

Saab 93 - noisy when going over bumps on the road.

Have you tried driving over a bump whilst also applying the brakes? (Right foot on gas, left gently on brake - with no one behind you!) If the noise goes away, then it could be the brake pads that are not fitted correctly. Only posting this, as this just happened to mine...the mechanic took it over bumps and noise was there. Applied brakes whilst going over bump, noise went away. Replaced badly fitted rear pads (had been bodged by another garage) and the problem was solved.
