up.yours Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 i have an rd350lc with noisy{rattley}shims .on close inspection i found there were no shims in their,oh,maybe its the pads doing the rattling then.ill order some from my local dealers in bolton {i wont name the shop}but they told me i cant order a shim kit,the shims only come with a new calliper.{origenal yamaha part} it seems very expensive to replace the cals every time your shims were out.are they TALKIN SHITE or what.

Check the year of the bike is correct. My 250 brakes used to rattle a lot, never bothered me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live with the rattle till the pads wear out. If they can rattle then they are free to move. Wouldn't bother me. I took the springs OFF my suzuki's brakes to allow them to move freely.

Moderator DirtyDT Posted July 17, 2009 Moderator Share Posted July 17, 2009 Let them rattle, it isn't a problem. You can't hear them if you get the exhaust howlling anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
