Rear Brake Squeal

Just to add to this thread on rear brake issues.



I also had a squeal, which after a clean and sand went away.



But recently I've been getting a fuzzy/vibration feeling pulsing though my foot when I apply the rear brake.



It only seems to happen on light braking, with hard braking I feel nothing.



It's also quite noisy, I can hear through my helmet and I even wear earplugs.



Any ideas?



Cheers

Arrgh! Those bolts.



Without looking at my bike, can you get to those bolts easily?



What torque are we talking about. Ha ha!



I will slightly give the shaft a clean & regrease.



Job for the weekend. Or even tonight. Wife dependent.

Well the bolts were nice and tight, so it's not them causing the vibration/noise through the brake pedal.



I had a quick look at the rear brake shaft last night, trying to figure out how you remove it.



Do you have to remove the exhaust to get it out? It looks like you have to slide it out to the left, which would hit the H-box.

I thought as much.



I will try the dribble oil solution first.



Can you take the pedal off? Then I might be able to get some oil down the shaft.



It doesn't sound as this is the reason for the vibration/fizzing noise.

Thanks for the link to the service manual. I have a haynes manual, but it doesn't cover everything.



This service manual is very similar to the one I have for my CBX750F.



Downloaded and stored.
