Front brake clicking noise

Hi I have a Thruxton which had the same problem as yours by the sound of it. It made clicking/clunking noises when going over bumps etc. Got to the point where I thought it was the head bearings, turns out it's a floating disk and should move a bit. If you apply the brake and no noise is evident then that's probably the cause. Unless you have a massive amount of play I wouldn't worry. Try going round all the little discs/holes and check the are not Seized, give em a good scrub with soapy water, check your pads for excessive uneven wear.

 

As Crispey just said you have a floating front disc on your bike so by it's nature it will make a bit of noise and move when going over lumps and bumps. It's important that the bobbins (large circular retaining fixings) so was them out on a regular basis with hot soapy water and a dish washing brush.

By the way, welcome to the Triumph Asylum.

 

You're getting squeaking because, imo, the bobbins need cleaning. The amount of movement seems fine. Lots and lots of hot soapy water and a brush.

 

The discs on my trophy click and they are brand new,got to say the play in yours does look excessive think I,d change em.

 

This is an old thread
XTbloke hasn’t been seen in over a year

Hope he got new discs though cos they’re knackered
