Disk Brake Bolts
Posted: Sat May 18, 2019 5:27 pm
Just a word of warning.
I was out on the Bullet this afternoon, when I noticed a "tick tick" comming from the front end, only started about a mile away from home so I soldiered on.
Cause of the ticking was the bolts that hold the disk to the hub working loose - 2 had backed out enough to contact one of the caliper bolts, the others were not very tight at all.
Took them all out and put a little loctite on the threads hopefully to stop it happening again.
If you have a disk brake it may be worth checking the bolts from time to time.
