Not sure what was more impressive the break caliper adjustment or the whistling. simple but still learned something new, thanks!

Didn’t move the caliper when installing new brake pads, and subsequently they squeaked. Never assumed the new pads may not be completely centered. Tried cleaning, resurfacing using sandpaper, nothing worked. Sometimes going back to the basics is the best answer. Thanks for making me stand back and realize there was another option.👍🏼 Squeak free since the adjustment. Thanks.

If it’s a sting R it should either be fast ace or talaria suspension. Each are similar quality. What color is the adjuster? Any branding or logos on the shocks/forks?

Try again multiple times. If it doesn't fix it, take the wheel and pads out, push the calipers in and try again. If that doesn't work, take it to a shop. They're better at it, and it's possible your rotor is bent

Great vid, mine are still making noise, just rubbing on the pads. Should i try the same process all over? Brake clean on the rotor? Any ideas?

@freerfixedit Ай бұрын

Thanks! Appreciate that. Yeah try to clean the rotor, also, sometimes it takes a few times to get it to line up perfectly. If it’s being stubborn you could maybe try doing one bolt at a time on the caliper, doing a test spin of the wheel, and adjusting the side to side of the caliper accordingly for the 2nd bolt. Hope this helps 🤙🏽

Could take it off or try to straighten it. If it happened in shipping reach out to Luna or where you ordered from and see if they’ll send you a replacement. Luna takes really good care of their customers

@freerfixedit Жыл бұрын

Yep, just loosen the 2 caliper bolts, hold the back brake, and tighten. Then release the brake lever

@chantheman6799 11 ай бұрын

Is the back tire supposed to spin freely when spinning the tire by hand? Mine is pretty tight, also do you have any idea what this slight ticking sound is near my front caliper?

@freerfixedit 11 ай бұрын

yes it is supposed to spin freely... there is some resistance due to the motor, and a tight chain can make it hard to spin

Hi i heard a “tac” sound when release completely the throttle at low speed, is very annoying. I feel it also through the “vibration” of footpeg. Can you help me to understand where is the source of this sound please?

@freerfixedit 5 ай бұрын

Not sure what you mean by tac sound, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the gearbox... Do you have the clamp on the gearbox vent hose open? and have you done an oil change on the gearbox yet? I've seen many people say that after they changed the gearbox oil with a quality oil that it quiets down a lot... let me know if you get it figured out or I'll try my best to figure out what it is with you... hope you get it sorted!

@freerfixedit Ай бұрын

Just loosen the caliper bolts and do it again. Your caliper probably is off center and the pad is rubbing the rotor. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to get it perfectly aligned

Hey, i did what you did in the video, but now my brake is way worse. Any tips?

@freerfixedit Жыл бұрын

When you say worse… what happened? Rubbing worse? The idea behind that trick is to center the brake pads on the rotor. Take a look at your pads, and look at the gap on both sides of the rotor. Ideally when you mount the caliper down, there should be equal space between both pads and the rotor. Hope this helps 🤙🏽

@freerfixedit Ай бұрын

Sometimes it takes a few tries, but really all you’re trying to do is have the caliper be centered on the bracket, so that the rotor doesn’t rub on either side of the pads. With new pads tho, there will be less wiggle room for the rotor until they wear down some. Hope you get it sorted!
