Odd noises
Hi,
2008 Fat Bob Anyone have any idea why I'm hearing a buzzing sound--kinda like a cicada (locusts for ya'll Texans)--whenever I start travelling faster than 10mph. As the speed picks up, the buzzing goes faster. When I apply the fron breaks, the buzzing goes up a decibel or 2. Regards, Rob of the Fat Bob Brotherhood |

RE: Odd noises
Look for cicada in front rotor ....

RE: Odd noises
How many miles have you ridden? Has it always done that? Have you check to see if a brake pad is maybe running a wee bit too close to the rotor? The fact that the sound changes when you apply the brakes would make me look there first. I think I've heard the sound you are talking about before when I'm lightly applying my brakes. Kind of a whurring noise?

RE: Odd noises
noticed the same buzz when I apply front brake. sound is pads rubbing rotor. If you are hearing it when not applying brake, read on here that sometimes new pads will just touch rotor when brake not applied, could be that is happening on yours, but if it is too loud, I would look into it being a problem of pads not backing off enough and constantly rubbing.
Easton huh! I'm in Reading |

You could upgrade your pads to an aftermarket brand. DougJ |

I've noticed some new bikes with noisy discs. I wonder if a little speck of gravel gets cought up in there? I've never had a squeeky disc on any of my Harleys. Good luck.

On my 2007 street bob I had a buzzing noise which turned out to be the bucket for my headlight. I had the dealer tighten it up and I haven't heard it since.
