So I got new front pads and put them in. They work ok. Nothing like my stock pads. After changing them theres this hissing noise which Im told will go away once they break in which is fine but now my brake light stays on the whole time. I didnt mess with any wiring on the bike and I cant figure out why the F it stays on the whole time. Please help its driving me crazy! Thanks

that hissing noise is a good thing means those pads are seating corectly and it will never go away. also did you sand your rotor befor you put new ones on

Sand my rotor? no. wouldnt that **** it up?

nope, it helps alot. i watched someone not be able to do burnouts, we sanded the rotors, and hes now learning stoppies.

make sure and sand both sides of each rotor. and dont be an idiot and use like 100 grit, get something fine, you just want to scuff it up

HH's will squeak for life

What grit like 800 or higher?

Bump! still cant figure out why the brake light stays on.

dud probly a switch on the brake lever. use 220 grit. by sanding the rotors it help the new pads seat properly

push and pull the little plunger on the rear brake switch (the one conected to the spring) does it turn on and off?
