Squeaking Brakes from Fall?

I'm not entirely sure if it's related and what the proper recourse would be if it is, but ever since I kept going down practicing U-turns my brakes have been squeaking when applied prior to a stop.


Is it just coincidental or can squeaking be a result of dropping a bike?

Could just be a build up of brake dust caused by dragging the rear brake. Clean everything up with brake cleaner and see if that solves it.

So like.. in the other thread you use the term "Sliding out"

You're using the front brakes, right?

Maybe the frame is cracked and rubbing together.

Doubt that. Never dropped like that, doesn't even have a scratch on it bud to affect the frame.

Is it from the brake itself or from the line?

Did you pinch a line? Cable could snap.

How can I check/confirm if that's the case? It only squeaks when brakes are being applied

Does a 2002 GSXR750 have cable actuated brakes? I'd be surprised.
