Jakarta , Brakes should get more attention than other parts of the vehicles. The Function is vital ! Imagine if tension or does not work ! How Serious ! Therefore , must be considered .

Early detection , the pace car was obstructed . " It feels like the car brakes half . Its speed is slower than usual . When slowed , the speed dropped dramatically . Those cars with a manual transmission , when the clutch pedal is applied, such as brakes , " said Santoso , Assistant Chief Mechanical , Suzuki authorized workshops in Pondok Indah Artery , South Jakarta .

If allowed to continue , will arise because of the smoke from the brake components constant rubbing . Usually the smell of rice pest will enter into the cabin when the car stops . If you are still desperate road , brake failure due to heat . Alternatively, brake discs and thin quickly . In order to return to normal , according to Santoso had to be repaired .

1 . Brake Service . The goal is to clean up the canvas with disc or drum . Impurities arising from friction between the brake pad and disc remain on these two components .

2 . Check the lining or brake shoe holder . This section is often susceptible rust hit the water . If left unchecked , lead to friction , the holder can not suppress the canvas well . most often , scratching appears when the car brakes .

3 . Drain the fluid or brake fluid . Done every 20,000 miles .

All three are great brakes and servicing should be done every 20,000 miles .

Careful, If Disc Brakes Often Lock


Jakarta - Brake discs is determined to reduce and stop the motorcycle . However , if not addressed properly , it is also easy to cause problems . Brakes more sensitive to impurities than the drum . Therefore, be diligent cleaning , both brake discs and pads ( located in the calipers ) .

The most severe of these diseases , can be locked when not in use or drag when in use . If left unchecked, the disc or discs will be eroded , eventually less grip , heat generated due to friction peringan with canvas , can spread to other parts . For example , because the canvas is pressed by the piston , the seal will be broken .

According to Grace Sobari , Omega Motor mechanic in the area Jatinegara , East Jakarta , continuous hum of the brake disc , may be the first sign to begin care .

" Immediately hospitalization . There is definitely a problem . If not dirty , there is a problem on the piston , discs and pads . If allowed to continue , could cause the brakes to be bad , " he told KompasOtomotif .

Based on these experiences , . explained the causes of disc brakes making a sound .
1 . piston dirty
Piston calipers pressing duty canvas , then clamping plate or ckaram . Pistion work under the pressure of the brake when the lever is pulled Minya . If the piston can not return to its original position , the canvas will remain clamped plate and making a sound . Long will jam due to friction and heat ( disc expands ) . Piston For this check , be sure there is no dirt that block the action back into the starting position .

2 . plate bent
Uneven disc surfaces . The trigger , it could be due to a fall , the temperature rise due to age or swollen disc ( point 1 ) . Because of uneven , certain parts langsujng associated with canvass . " If you have this , it can be serviced , but it should be changed so that a disc brake is more stable , " said Sobari .

3 . rust
The discs will rust if not used old motorcycle . This condition is also commonly found on car brake discs . When reused , impurities such erosion will pollute surface rust lining . If left unchecked , will spread to the disorder and the caliper piston . Instead, it is treated first by dismantling the brakes , including calipers .
