front brake noise 1 Year, 7 Months ago  
hi everyone read some stuff here in the past about the "whusshing" "whurring" "angry bee noise" comming from the rotor/caliper area of the r* my bike is a 2007 with about 1050 miles on it will this noise eventually go away as i wear in the brakes some more?? is there something i can do to stop it? i guess i can just ignore the noise but .... i was wondering, the heat disapating holes edges on the rotor are sharp to the touch from their drilling out i guess as these holes go past the brake pads the are causing some kind of harmonic noise can i hone out the edges of these holes a bit ? would it help ? is it even worth it? thanks for the help be careful out there!!! ride safe!!! / ride snart!!! regards ,mike

Mine does it to always has 05 9000+ miles. I just think it is the nature of the beast. Just my 2 cents.

got nearly 70,000kms on mine, and it still makes the slight buzzing hiss. even different pads don´t stop it.

ignore it or buy some louder pipes (good an excuse as any )

No they don't pop. But everybody ask's if they are out. They sound pretty loud.

Have the buzzing when I apply the brakes, bro is a motorcycle cop, says its the combination of the disc. brakes and the holes in the disk that make a noise like a hight voltage wire. Hope this helps

I think that you should leave the edges alone. The sharp edges on the rotor holes help clean the pad of debris by scraping the pad as the rotor turns. If you bevel these edges this could force dirt into the pads.
