| Apache 160 4V brake caliper noise issue Hello fellow bhpians. I own a 2021 TVS Apache 160 4V which has only about 8k kms. I got into a minor accident last year when an autorikshaw sideswiped me causing me to crash into parked 2 wheelers, because he "bhada"  Anyways, I was able to apply some brakes and atleast my bike came out unscathed. But since then, I've been hearing sort of grinding noise from my front brakes whenever I make sharp turns, but I was never able to recreate it on double stand. Here is a video. Mind you, it only happens when turning, and I am doings 8s in the video. Video1: When I took it for its due service and told the technician about it, he apparently solved the problem by cleaning the brake pads? The noise was actually gone for a solid month, until it came back. Now recently I checked it myself thoroughly and found some play in the caliper (the source of noise). This being my first bike, I've absolutely no idea if this is how it is supposed to be: Video2:   Any help and insights? Thank you. |
