Xciting 500 / Re: Rear Brake
« on: September 12, 2018, 12:29:31 PM »
A successful update: there are two clips that hold the pads, the one at the bottom is called the Pad Spring and the one at the top is the Retainer. I took the Retainer out and cleaned all the gunge off (this clip was not replaced like the Pad Spring) and reassembled. Noise has gone, so give that a try. See the workshop manual for Xciting 500/500 AFI 250/250 AFI section 17 page 27.

Just an update: replaced warped disc and pads. Vibration noise continues around whole disc. Turns out its the 'anti rattle clip' because when I hold it the noise stops. Any ideas on how to get rid of this noise?

Xciting 500 / Rear Brake
« on: June 10, 2018, 11:32:37 AM »
When releasing the handbrake after my bike has been standing for a while, there is a horrible grinding noise almost as if the brake pads are rubbing the disc. The disc has a very slight warp as this grinding sound only occurs at a certain spot. The pads are still fine. Is there a way to lubricate the handbrake cable? After I have washed the bike this noise does not occur but returns once everything is dry. My thought is that the cable is sticking somewhere. Anyone else experienced this?

Thanks in advance, Greg

To cancel the oil service light you need to hold the button down for 5 seconds with ignition switch on. You will need something sharp as this will not work with just a finger.
