Rear brake pad's Rattle

Post by relenger »

Any one had the rear brake pad chatter? Mine rattle's Extremely bad. I can hear it over a 35mph wind. The pads seem to slide back and forth and rattle on the Pin. Any idea's on where to buy part's for the blur on the net?

That's not good. Is this the brake pads, the caliper, or the floating disc that causes the rattle? If it's the brake pads, you could have a bigger problem.

Sounds like a warranty issue to me....

I wish it was warranty but I got. It used. I believe the disc is bent/warped. I think it is pushing the piston in slightly allowing the pad to be loose and clank around. For some reason I always get the pro lem no one else has ever had

Is the warranty not transferable, or is the scooter over 2yrs old?

No, unfortunately, the warranties on the Blurs are not transferrable.

Which is dumb. But true.

Pretty silly. Audi does this with their CPO warranty- only the original buyer. Why would they do that as it is easy enough to determine when the bike was purchased if they registered it with Genuine like a dealer is supposed to do. It would show goodwill towards customers to allow coverage for 2yrs no matter how many owners are involved...
