T120 Loud Noise Under Braking

I also cannot live with either Triumph's cavalier attitude , or the humiliation each time that horrendous sound comes from my bike at a stoplight. Can you say " class action suit " ?!

 

Don't know what to advise then if everything's been cleaned and copper greased.
I've done about 2k miles on my Bonnie since fitting EBC HH pads back and front and have had no issues.
No issues with the OEM pads either.

 

Please post the email address where I can state my case .

 

I just chimed in with an email as well . Thank you .

 

Hi all.

I have just covered 2.5k miles on my T120 (all stock pads with no interference from me) and firstly noticed a slight squeal when rolling backwards. This is starting to get worse, but I have not (yet) had any noise when going forwards.

I was wondering if the problem may be resolved with the use of floating disks? My theory being that it there is resonance being sent into the hub from the braking surfaces then would this not be in-part interrupted by the floating disc?

Would they be as aesthetically pleasing as the existing solid disc?
Clearly an expensive experiment it it doesnt work

 

That is great news !

 

Good to see they care, hopefully wont be too long, in the meantime do a search for the thread "best earplugs ever!!"

 

Let's hope that earplugs isn't the solution Triumph is working on .

 

Well good for Triumph ......and there was me thinking only Yamaha built tuning forks.

 

This is good news as I was going to get EBC pads fitted tomorrow on my day off, but had to cancel the fitting this morning as I've been asked to work tomorrow. I had re-arranged for 2 weeks time, but will now wait until Triumph's official 'fix'.

 

Well I must admit that is a pretty standard answer following a complaint that requires remedial action.
No good implementing a fix with all the associated costs if it does not fully solve the problem.
Thorough testing will be required before Triumph feel confident enough to release the rectification.

 

That awful noise will be a little bit easier to take knowing that a fix in the works . The initial position they took in their May 9th letter to dealers made me absolutely sick .
