      Nice glad it worked. It does take some practice and patience to get it just right

    I’m having the issue where it’s still making the noise how do I check the pads can you make a video please.

      I got plenty out there already. If it's still rubbing then take your hands and wiggle it back and forth to find the sweet spot while your squeezing the throttle until the sound stops then tighten it that way

      If you look through my video collection I have several on how to take the pads out and replace them with new ones... The pads actually last awhile depending on how often your riding your scooter... Also if there is rubbing it could be your rotor they bend and warp all the time.

      @@ShawnyricksTipsandTricksironically enough I didn’t have to I had a microscopic rock jammed inbwteen the pad and the caliper creating a high spot thus the rub. Crazy how these things happen sometimes.

      I've gotten about 400 before replacing mine but it depends on how often you ride

      If that's the case the rotor isn't lined up yet or you have the wrong sized rotor or pads

    Thank you. I just purchased a new rotor becasue my last one was warped. I installed everything as should and i still hear some rubbing on the rotor. I tried your method on the breaks and i hope that will help. I have been trying to align this thing for 2 days now.

    I did have an issue with that method. On one of my scoots the rear screw makes the caliper move toward the wheel as your tightening it. I used this method and wound up warping the disk with the caliper. A little sanding o the scoots arm and that issue was fixed. Luckily a 140mm disk is like 7 bucks

      You must of really been running the wheel a lot in order for that to happen, sometimes it isn't perfect but it is best to evenly tighten down both screws at the same time. And if that doesn't work then sometimes holding the caliper and adjusting it slightly with your hands as you look down on to the rotor while making sure it's even when tightening down the screws works also. You have to make sure it's even, because you are right, it will move the caliper a bit if you only tighten one side down at a time. I've never warped a rotor at all by using this method. And it's the same method on all scooters. I'm at least glad you were able to get it to work.

    Does Eagle one/2023 have bleed port on rear caliper? I filled with oil and pumped handle, still don't have dime stopping power after 20 kilometers use. Any ideas?

    • @ShawnyricksTipsandTricks

      Unfortunately I don't have a version 2 yet, but to my understanding, they should. You generally have to take the Caliper off to get to it, and the fill plug for bleeding is generally on the bottom side of it. I will be putting up a short video tomorrow that will show a trick on how to get the air out of the lines the easy way for those that have bled the brakes but are still having issues.

      Also, if you scroll through my channel I have a bleed brake video that will help you get more familiar with how the process works.
