    Front brake moaning noise?

    in Technical Topics

    Posted

    Hi Guy's,

     

    2003 V11 Lemans. Haven't ridden in about a month. Went to ride to work this morning and heard an odd noise.

     

    Heard kind of a moaning sound coming from the front brakes. It is an intermittent noise. It sounds to me like the rotor is wavy but there is no confirming pulsations coming through the front brake lever. I figured it was just rust or a coating on the rotor from not riding it, but it didn't stop. Could hear it at low speeds, but faster it either goes away or I just can't hear it. I got back home and I could hear it as I pushed the bike around the garage.

     

    So any thoughts? I searched for moaning brae noise but nothing came back.

     

    Thanks,

    Tank Bag Recommendations?

    in 24/7 V11

    Multiple endorsments for the MG bag. Greg has one in stock and I need to pick up some other stuff from him anyway. Feels like destiny.

     

    Does the MG bag come off easily to carry with me? How about mounting - do I have to take off the tank to secure straps?

     

    The MG bag has a base that stays on the tank. The bag itself zips to the base. When removed the bag has shoulder straps to become a backpack. The base has a hole over the gas cap to allow fillups. The base uses the tanks mounting bolt under the seat at the back. It has two straps that go uner the frame in the front. Easy to install after you know what you are looking at.

     

    I really like mine, and it can pack more than you'd think by just looking at

    Moto Guzzi Leather Jacket

    Wife stops by our local Guzzi dealer and picks me up a nice Moto Guzzi leather jacket. She got the XXL since they run kinda small, and apparently I'm (not) running kinda big. I put it on and the left arm feels funny. Seems the left elbow armor was not included, and the nylon mesh sleeve liner wasn't sewn in like the right arm.

     

    I really wanted to wear it for my Saturday ride. Oh well, back to the store it goes....

    All I get is a page with a red x. I'm not afraid of your red x's man!

     

    "In honor of our recent one-year anniversary (and because I had to slog through our first six-months of posts to find something), here are a few reposts:Gerbils are not sex toys. Two young men found this out the hard way, and stole a news anchor’s professionalism in the process. Crank up the sound for news radio’s funniest moment: Armageddon!

     

    I, unlike the Rev, like The Darkness. But not as much as this guy, who became the Air Guitar World Champion following this performance of “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” I wish I could pretend to play like that."
