buzzing under tank while brakeing

« on: July 03, 2012, 11:46:19 AM »

While riding yesterday I noticed a buzzing or possible relay chattering while applying my front brake while moving at any speed, it does NOT buzz when at a total stop. The buzzing or chatter seems to be coming from under the fuel tank. the front brake seems to be working fine, ie, fluid and electric connections at the lever switch, new brake pads 2 weeks ago, can anyone tell me if its something they have run into before, thanks

2 WEEKS AGO, you put on EBC brake pads which cause the buzz. You have to stay with oem pads or change out with EBC rotors to stop the buzzing.

Thank YOU, I checked my invoice and your right, Called the dealer and yep, they did put on ebc"s. I took for granted they would put on OEM"s. The service mgr. appoligized, Parts mgr. ordered OEM"s as they never stock them due to the higher price; now I was asked to pay $99.28 in advance for the order, no labor to re-install and they were aware of this happening to the valk's but... I also bought 2 metzlers from them and let them put them on with the front brakes,,, oh well!!! The OEM's will be in next week. A BIG THANK YOU and yes, you ALL are the best.
