When going over 40mph and applying my front brakes I hear what sounds like a gurgling sound or maybe a slurping sound I can't decide which fits better, but anyways it doesn't happen unless I am going over 40mph and the braking does not seem to be effected at all. The brakes still work fine there are no dead spots, there doesn't seem to be any air in the line as there is no loss of brake pressure at all.

I am just curious if anyone has had this happen to them or if they have any clue as to what might be causing it.

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

 

Sounds like the noise from the rotor when you apply the front brake. Air being trapped between the pucks and disc at each slot location. Similar sound like when you blow on a small toy fan blade. Funny, I havn't heard mine do that for a year or so.

What would be the best way to fix this? Just pull the pads and kind of reset the caliber?

 

I wouldn't bother worrying about it, its very normal.
But if your really bugged about it you can do one of two things, or both.
First you can change the brake pads for better ones, like Lyndell.
But even that's no gurantee its going to go away.
Or get louder pipes so you won't be 'able' to hear it anymore.

 

dito, mine sound like blowing bubbles with a straw. other times no sound

 

Very good, I couldn't think of a good way to describe it, but that's a pretty good description.

BTW my bike hasn't done it, that I can remember in some time.
So it may just go away as the brakes 'break in'.
Unless it still there and just got buried under the engine noise courtesy of my BR pipes.

 

As the back edge of the holes eventually develop slight radius on the trailing edge from use the sound will go away. Air is not trapped enough to make the sound. Slight grooves from use helpl channel air too. You have 3 choices. If you completeley understand how this works you can modify that area of the rotor. (not recommended). Put more miles on it and it will modify itself , or wear earplugs in the mean time.

I am so glad, I cannot hear well anymore.

 

Well the funny thing is these are not new brakes, they are already well worn in, I did just have new tires put on so maybe that upset the balance on them or something, but either way knowing that I am not the only one that has a bubble blowing break system is rather comforting. Thank you all for your replys

 

You need some louder pipes.
