So, today I removed the rear brakes with a buddy of mine; sounding like a garbage truck at every light has sent me over the edge :shocked:
Cleaned them up, about 50% wear at 4100 miles on the pads, greased the back of the pads, and adjusted the parking brake (1-click to engage) with lots of room to adjust.
Preliminary riding shows a 100% improvement :yes: Time will tell after I get my other mods complete and I ride it in anger. Also, no more moaning when backing the :spyder: up; the :spyder:, not me :clap:
Appears to have been two problems (1) vibration - cleaned & greased, and (2) misalignment - too tight.
