2017 FLHXS 21K on the clock

so at first I thought I was hearing things, but the voices in my head confirmed no it's definitely not them...

I've finally spent a little time eliminating some electrical things from the enquiry... radio off, headset off.... audible noise still noticeable and not coming from the speaker either.

When braking from approx 50>20mph, and more using the front lever than the rear pedal, I'm hearing what can only be described as an alarm or buzzer noise emitting from the front, kinda right ish side of the bike (from what I can tell)

If I so much as touch (not grab hard) the front lever its very audible. If I release, reapply, release , reapply it buzzes each time until I get under 20mph and then stops (or possibly fades away)

If I just use my rear pedal, same speed, the sound is still there just not so loud

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

...TIA

hmmmmm just a thought, front pads where changed @ 19389 for EBC DOUBLE-H SINTERED PADS

 

It's the HH pads....ignore it

 

ahhh ok,
it did occur to me when I was typing my post that the pads had been changed not that long ago.
Mate riding behind me said he thought he could hear 'squealing' and thought it was his bike, but at the lights I said to him I thought I could hear a buzzing/alarm sounding noise coming from my bike

is it something in their make-up?

 

Definitely it is from the material it's made with. I don't even hear it anymore. They're great pads

 

My trike does the same thing when i apply the rear brakes it makes noise. That linked brake system does it. If i apply just the front brakes it's quite.

 

I just installed these new brake pads. And I’ve noticed chirping noise from the front when I brake.

 

EBC HH pads and drilled rotors. The increased brake bite is definitely worth the noise.
