My bike makes a lot of noises with my half-helmet that it doesn't make with my full-face......

My front brake makes the same noise.

My 07 does the same. Figured it was the holes in the rotor, as long as it stops, all is good.

Thanks all. I rode to church tonight on the bike and yep that seems to be where the buzzing is coming rom. Its a ventriloqist as it throws the sound up to the left switch controls to throw you off. I must need louder pipes or a full face helmet.
