Some people rotate the buttons with a drill/something a bit soft to make sure they aren't binding. Brake clean in there.

i went with…https://www.rpmmoto.com.au/ferodo-si...ds-for-2024-cfOriginally Posted by F5 Dave
didn't lift the wheel off the ground. Zero float sideways with the buttons
So I cleaned everything immaculately and spun the bobins with brake cleaner. IME neither of these exercises have ever made any difference on my Ducatis, and not with this bike either. I chamfered the leading edges of the pads as well when I fitted them but did not do the radial edges. To be fair tho, that is something you would do to discs that had a fair bit of use on them.
I also put an anti squeal compound on the backs of the pads.

Those pads have always been quiet in the R1, but it does have a cheap Chinese wave rotor. They tend to be quieter than drilled rotors.

Frustrating.
Quite s few Trials bikes squeal. Often less as they get used. Hmm.

To be honest I would spin the wheel try and see where it makes the noise. if it hasn't got a centre stand get someones help to lever it up on the sidestand.
make up a rig and see if the disc is both round and true.
tbh in the pic it looks to be mild steel unlike the higher chromium steel the Japanese use.
could it be something like the caliper moving or part of the ABS (am assuming its ABS)
I had an early use that used to make noises out of the pressure reducer or whatever the f it was.
Best of luck.

Right, so I replaced the original pads but chamfered the leading and radial edges, not heavily, and put some high temp grease on the loaded edge of the pad and then did a varying brake test and it seems good now. So now I have a set of ferodo sinterd pads that have done approx 25km spare as I am not going to piss about putting them back in…

Shouldn't they fit your other Ducatis ?

Pm me the bank account details and post them to me for what you think is reasonable.

Well clearly the only answer is to buy a 400ss or 600 monster....

Ok took day off to uplift this.
Now done 220km and dirty from maybe 20km gravel road.

Keep us updated on your impressions, thinking about one of these for me.

Local shop reckons they have sold around 60. Just them. Astounding.
I like riding it on the road. Obviously running in. Kinda. Odd but fun on road, and bearing in mind I test rode my 765 in the morning having fitted a 5mm spacer to jack rear up 10-15mm in line with new model. Felt sharper, loved it.
So then onto a gangley Adventure bike with 21" wheel and handlebars at head level (not really but felt like it for first 5km). Onto motorway and over the tukas on brand new half dirt tyres.
But they scuffed in to usable fairly quick. Through Martinborough ingesting the world most expensive pie and soft drink, onto Admiral road loop to get a taste of gravel, for I dunno, 20km maybe. I'll probably find out it was 4.
Was pretty hard gravel to start with and I was wishing for my dirtbike knobbly on the front. But it got better as I learned those tyres and the gravel got better. We did pass a grader mid way and he'd probably come from our end.
Back over tukas and getting used to the road manners at least. A fun new chapter.
