Went out for a quick ride to the store tonight and noticed that my front brakes were clacking when applied. I took a look when I got home. Eveything was tight. I found the holes in the calipers for the brake pad retaining pins are worn. The pins are OK. 30 plus years of steel working on aluminum I suppose. I'm not concerned at this point, but am curious. Should the pins get a little grease on them at install , or will that just attract and hold more gunk?

Yes grease would be ok thicker the better, copper paste ok just make sure it does not get on the disc or pads.The big guy up there rides a Suzuki (this I know)

Regarding grease, it's relatively expensive (compared to lithium or moly grease for example), but for really special situations - such as places which are hard to get to and don't get inspected very often, you can buy a jar of molybednium paste that's about the slickest lubricant one can buy. The 8 oz jar I have is made by Loctite. Good stuff.Comment
