Ya’ll going??
Okay so when I got the SG the mech noted “front” brakes pulsed. Now I’m scratching my head. Never had this in years passed and might wait till the fall to fuck with it. I was thinking warped rotor (there are two) but after doing brakes on my pickup yesterday I had a lightbulb moment, I think. The rotors and brakes were changed in the pick-up couple years ago. A year later it was pulsing and I was confident it was a warped shitty rotor which is typical with Chinese shit. I bought Brembo rotors and pads to replace and then found out one of the four brake pistons on pass side froze causing it. So either it was warped and caliper froze or it was just the caliper froze, either way now I’ve convinced my self there another option to the pulsing on the SG. Now the question on the SG because these rotors, brakes, and calipers are double the $$$ what the pick-ups cost. How to diagnose a frozen caliper if it’s elevated? Or what else can cause pulsing before I spend a grand or more to change everything?

I hope you get a good answer. As I have pulsing in my pickup. I checked the rotors and pads and all was good.

Easy just see if the calipers push back or spin the wheel while its off the ground see if it spins free. Do you feel the brakes pulsing?

Great tune to listen to while riding

I jacked it up. Waste of time spinning wheel trying to see anything. Gonna try to compress when I get a chance and then spin. If it’s warped it’s minute until hot. If all compress then I guess two new rotors. Not trying one side at a time.

How are the pads not sure if I asked you earlier

Can’t see shit unless it’s sunny and I have my glasses on in porch and neither were available. I’ll look tomorrow when I get home. Only have a couple of incandescents out there and they suck.

I’m not expecting anyone to go. I’m trying to put it together to go, I have like a mental thing being I used to deliver to them before the show happened. It’s the first, could be the last too. I was literally a half hour from this spot on 9/11 so it’s a karma thing.
