I'm getting a buzz, it almost sounds electrical, when I apply my front brake at speed. It then stops as I slow. Is this a warning sign that it is time for a new front brake? Thanks!!!!

 

Humm, I had the same issue for the last several years. My brakes are in good shape, but Ive always wondered what the noise was.

 

Yeah, looking at the pad from the side it seems OK (thickness), but I was thinking maybe it was thinner than I thought?

 

Mine does the same thing i heard its something about the holes in the rotor making the noise.

 

mine does the same ,

strangely to me it sounds like its from the clutch lever

so i went for a ride with out a helmet to try pinpoint the sound and couldn't hear a bloody thing over the exhaust..

i can only hear it wearing an open face helmet , full face i don't hear it either


/me scratches head

 

By far the most common reason for that noise.

 

I get front end noise at slow speeds, but once I'm past 50 it stops. Hope more people post on Front End noises.

 

Well, at least it isn't a big deal.
