Brake pads

[Nevg]

hi,

Not long since bought the wife a 705se, but the front brake squealing is horrendous.

I'm going to try changing out to a sintered pad, and not sure which ones to buy

Thanks
Nev

Keep your pads clean all the time

Bike is only a few weeks old, ive cleaned the discs and pads, but still squealing.....so I was going to try a different pad,

Apart from getting wet a few times , i can't think of anything else to try .

A few weeks ago the front brake on my KTM started squealing and heavy braking didn't cure it. I gave the bike a good clean using Muc Off all over including brake discs and fittings. After a thorough rinse and dry the squeal had disappeared and has not returned.

Try some fairy on the pads rubs them together with thumb and fore finger then rinse.

It's quite common to get squealing brakes from the salt they put on the roads in winter's but it normally goes when normal rainwater washes it back off.

My front squeals. My back doesn't.
I like it. I use it like a bell / horn. Consider leaving it alone

Lol, my wife gives me ear ache about it


I have tried cleaning, realigning calliper. Clean and dressed pads, cleqn d rotor..

So next step is try some sinterd pads, but wasn't sure which pads I need for the cable tektro disc brakes
