Default Brake noise?

When I am moving forward slowly and use the front brakes, there is a "clack" like metal to metal or something moving when the brakes grab.

Do floating rotors make noise at low speeds?

By low, I mean just applying enough clutch to move the bike in the garage or cleaning up my parking position.

Don't want to go to the dealer if it is normal. I spend too much money on crap in the parts or clothing department...

Mine does the same, especially if I had just backed it up, apply the brake and then rolled forward and applied the brake.. clunk or click or whatever that noise is considered.

Okay!
Do you think it is normal? Or even what causes it?

My suspicion is the floating rotors. But not too sure.

I posted a thread on this very thing a while back. The general consensus was that it is normal.
Mine was more after I had just backed up, and mostly on the first time I did some braking. I think the pads had unloaded, and were reloading on that first braking.


Mine sounds like it is from the master more so than the calipers, but sounds travels so who knows. It's a audible click
