Default Clicking Caliper
First Post. My 2010 FLHTK's left caliper has a clicking when stopping. Dealer says it's OK BUT! they seem to say everything is normal. I think if i had a piston sticking out they would say NORMAL.

The brake pads push air out through the rotor openings when you slow and/or stop so you hear that noise. Dealers right, it's normal.
