I previously had a bad fork I drove on for two weeks while waiting for the new part. Now that everything is fixed I notice when I press on my front breaks it sort of shimmies in the front. It's more noticeable when going faster. I notice when I push my scooter down the road, that every wheel revolution there is a single squeak.
Someone mention this could be a bent front break rotar. What size are the brake rotors on my 2012 TaoTao Powermax VIP 150cc? Also is is possible to upgrade to to something besides stock?
What one do you recommend for this bike? I've seen performance brake rotors, but they were overpriced and I couldn't figure out the right one for me.

Check your "Triple Tree". Whenever your forks go out, that part is sure to be out of whack.
Also, your brakes might be a bit too tight and may require a minor adjustment.

Could be a loose nut or a warped rotor . If you want to replace the pads then I would remove and measure them since there is not one size fits all . Here is a TaoTao oem part vendor www.eagleatvparts.com/ |

Okay I'm ordering the triple tree. Is this also why it looks like the handlebar (on the side that had the bad fork) is slightly lower? Or are they not connected?

Is there a correct way to measure my brake pads? Should I buy calipers?
