Ive had my bike almost 9 months and did really notice it until I put my windshield on.. if I'm going down the road and hit either break it makes kind of a whining sound.. it almost sounds electrical... if that makes any since..

is this normal.. any suggestions would be great thanks

Mine squeals a little if I use a little too much front brake.

But if I make sure to balance the breaking it's not a problem.

 

I always do.. and it hasn't ever caused my any trouble.. but I just wanted to make sure.. thanks

 

Harley brake pads are pretty much noisy, dusty, junk. When the time comes, usually about 10,000 miles, replace them with a set of Lyndall "Z-plus" or "Gold" pads.

 

I don't know how many miles are on them so.. not a bad idea.. thanks..

then again I don't know if it even has HD pads on it.. got it used and it has 26000 on it..

but I my go ahead and to it anyway.

 

Take the windshield off....problem solved...lol...j/k

It's probably a good idea to check the pads and replace them.

 

I made the switch to Z-Plus racing pads front and rear - quiet, far better stopping than stock HD pads, and limited brake dust. Well worth the investment.

 

Spray your rotors and pads with Brakleen. Soak 'em good. The difference in brake feel and smoothness is noticeable. It's only $3.79 at Autozone. Great stuff. Get 3 or 4 cans as you'll want to hose your cars down, too.
