REAR WHEEL SQUEAK

[Mr. White]

When I back BR1 out of the barn, in neutral, engine off, I get a slight squeak every 360 degree turn of the rear wheel. It is faint, but there. I guess the disc or pad are slightly out of alignment.

I am going in to my dealer in the morning as I had a "check DPS" screen last Saturday and they said bring BR1 in for a BUDS check up.

Is this a big deal that I should mention it or nothing to worry about? Okay, I will answer my own question. It is easy to show (hear) so I will mention it and see what they say....thanks.

PS: Rode today and no "check DPS"....BR1 ran like a hose. hyea:

You'll get used to it. Combination of the brake pad squeal (now minimized with the Gen III brake pads) and a slightly warped or canted rotor. The slight warpage is common and is not covered under warranty, or the cushioned rotor (if the Spyder has one) can be moving out of parallel slightly on the mounting biscuits, as it does on the BMWs. Basically you are hearing light contact between the brake pads and rotor. I wouldn't sweat it if it doesn't wake the dead. Mine does it, too, but it doesn't scream like my 2010 did and Nancy's 2008 does.

Thanks, Scotty. It is VERY light, hard to hear if more than a couple of feet from BR1.

I know what I will do...I will go see my psychiatrist and after a few visits, it will still squeak, but it won't bother me! :roflblack: hyea:

Spyder tech said squeak was a very slight pad squeak...no problem, so off I went with my steering sensor changeout.
