"Cricket" sound from front brakes????

[teadream42]

Just got my new front tire put on and new front break-pads at the same time.
Went for a ride and I hear a cricket sound, coming from the right brake caliber.
Need  help!! All ideas are greatly appreciated.

I would guess you used EBC pads and not Hondaline pads.  I have done the same and will go back to Hondaline next brake change.

hi farther. could you tell me why the EBC pads do that

New always makes that sound, mines gave a tinkling sound. Give it a week or two, or perhaps grease the pivot bolt.

hi farther. could you tell me why the EBC pads do that

I don't know but is probably the sound of your Hondaline rotor being eatin' up by the EBC pads.

Not trying to be a smart a$$ but stock honda rotors work BEST with stock honda pads. Farther is correct-your probably not doing those rotors a whole lot of good. New rotors are only about $112.00 $125.00. Apiece. RIDE SAFE.

should i take the EBC pads out.

should i take the EBC pads out.

Make that: "I should take the EBC pads out."

The best policy is OEM rotors with OEM pads. EBC rotors with EBC pads, Galfer rotors.....etc., etc.

Same issue here , wondering what  the heck the noice was. Try to save a few bucks and you get bit in the behind. The problem is evertime I call Honda I prepare for the shock of how much.Seems like its coming from front more so. Easier to here I guess.

check out jake wilson in utah. he has new OEM and pays the shipping, for a fair price (lower than honda)
