Default Getting a loud rubbing sound when I apply front brake.

I am getting a loud rubbing sound when I apply my front brake. There is only 5500 klms on my Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic LT. When I was cleaning the bike last week I sprayed the rotor with chrome wheel cleaner, could that be the cause. I never had the sound until I did that. Will the brake pad have to be changed?

TKS, Dannie

Read the lable on the can of wheel cleaner, see if it says anything abour keeping it off the brake pads.

Ever notice that the person
telling you to calm down
is the same one that got you worked up
in the first place.
