Who has it? I know others do. Ours is bad and annoying. What did you do to get rid of it?? Was dealer any help?

 

I just picked mine up after having the 1K service done. The tech said that he cleaned the brake pads to get rid of the squeal. They weren't making any noise when I took it in so it must have started when they test rode it. I rode almost 200 miles yesterday and no squeal at all.

 

Glyder,

I think that most of us TG owners have that annoying brake squeal! As ON-3 stated: "cleaning the pads will remove the squeal"; however, it is only a temporary remedy, the squeal WILL return eventually!

Stay Safe Out There!!!!

Mine haven't squealed yet, Knock on wood, I have 3500 miles so far.

 

ours started at about 600 miles. its sorta embarrising. maybe ill take the wheels off and clean the pads and rotors up and put some no brake squeal lube on the backs of the pads and see what that does. If it doesnt stop Ill take it to the dealer and tell em fix it till you get it right.

 

The squeaking has been there since day one and have progressively got worse. My brakes were replaced at 1200 miles. Now 2700 and they will need to replaced again. There are deep groves in the rotors, again! They squeak just rolling up to a stop without depressing the brakes. I can even hear them with my V&H slash cuts. L Yes, it is embarrassing.

At this point, not being much of mechanic, my gut is telling me it’s an alignment problem related to the axle and rotor????????

I had a small trans leak and a whole in the clutch cable the this last weekend and had the dealer fix that. They have called HD again about the brakes, but have not had opportunity to speak to dealer if they heard back. I plan on bringing my TG back to them on Tuesday. I leave on a business trip for about 10 days and will leave it with them and have them do what it takes to fix the damn things.

With all the other issues I've had this appears to be the last. I hope?

 

Mine have squealed, but then they stopped. Just got back from a 1000 mile trip and didn't have any squeal at all. I have 4600 miles on the trike.

 

Wish I was you.

Thanks for your input.

 

No brake squeaking here either. Just got home from 500+ weekend trip....blip, blip, blip and XM tunes is all I heard. Oh, did get in a rain storm but kept on blipping home!!!

I have no complaints....
