Brake Pads

[sandog35]

I have a 2008 Spyder SM5 that I just bought in January. I had read about noisey brakes before I bought this,it has about 3500miles on it and the brake pads have never been changed out and I have noisey brakes-my question is would it be worth checking with a dealership about warrenty on these ? Ive read they would replace them . Only thing is that my Spyder no longer is within the warrenty period. ?

Doubtful you can get them covered. The new style brake pads are less quiet---- best just go have them done if it's bugging you that much---

:agree:I paid for the 3 gen. brakes on my own dime, And I'll tell you they work and worth every penny. :thumbup:

I've heard good things about the Gen 3 pads. Will definitely put those on when it's time. As for noise, whenever my brakes start making noise I just do some cleaning - rotors, etc - and they shut up for a while.

Do you mean more quiet? I've the 3rd gen. on the rears and now I can stop without the annoying squeal.

I have 12,000 miles on the spyder and the dealer said I have about 80% of the front brakes left, which is wjy I left them on. It seems that most of the noise was coming from the rear.

Have an '08 SM5 with 17000 milles and the original brake pads. Used to squeal really bad. Took all three apart, cleaned up everything, sprayed on disc brake quiet, and put it back together. That was about a 1000 miles ago and it still doesn't make a sound. Great stuff in a can!:thumbup:

I have a 2009 SE5,and the only time my brakes are noisey is when I apply them in reverse.

Dumb question for the day... Do the RT and RS/GS models use the same pads??
