Title: Agility 125 front wheel
Post by: GorgeZeph on February 06, 2008, 03:28:00 AM: The front wheel on my Agility sounds like the brake rotor is warped. I've taken it to the dealer twice. The frist time they said it would go away with wear. 2000 KM later, I took it back into the dealer. This time they said they couldn't hear it. Granted, I did drive the freeway getting there, so it was warm, but It has been a continuous problem.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything else that can be causing this noise??????

One could use Utterz (http://www.utterz.com/) to capture such racket with a new-fangled portable cellular hand-held telephonic device! :lol:

But not a bad idea really. What a great way to trouble shoot on a forum. But i'm sure the sound quality would suck. Wana try?

Dang. I gotta come up with all the answers? ;)

Try some modeling clay, dowel rods and hose clamps. You shouldn't have to go far or fast to get a good recording of the rotor sound.
