my raptor is almost brand new(2 weeks). when the quad is moving and i am NOT touching the break lever, the rear breaks are very slightly grinding, but enough to hear. its not a rough grind by any means. i sprayed it down with break cleaner and it still didnt stop. is this normal, does it take a while for the breaks to get broken in?

 

CHECK YOUR EMERGENCY BRAKE

 

the old e-brake drag

it will get better as your pads wear in/out

the e-brakes are notorious for wearing out pads and needing constant adjustment to remain working

best bet is to remove the e-brake system

honestly,,,they are garbage

 

agreed take the e-brake out!! the elctronic switch will give you trouble to

 

how do i adjust my ebrake. did you take the ebrake off your raptor, thanx for responding

 

i have taken the e-brake off every sport quad i've ever owned,,,,especially yamahas

to adjust:

on the left side of the rear caliper there is a bolt sticking out with a locknut

loosen the nut,,,,and move the bolt in or out as needed

if you keep it in adjustment....you may as well order some brake pads now,,,so you have em on hand[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

you could have bend your rotor on a raock or something, is it a constant grinding our a small repitition of grinding sounds

 

its constant so i dont think its bent, i adjusted my ebrake and its still making the noise but it doesnt affect its movement so im not to conserned.

 

I had the same problem and found if you adjusted the cable and it is still doing it back that bolt off that goes into the brake caliper not to much and then tighten the locknut, the caliper is fairly sensative to over tightening.
