Braking.

[Netminder]

Hey everyone, hope you had a great weekend riding! I know I did. One thing I have notice on my spyder riding trips is when I start braking from a higher speed, I seem to get a bit of a hum when applying the brake pedal. I am pretty mechanical as I worked as a Bodyman/mechanic for 15 yrs, but I can't seem to figure what it might be. Possibly just this discs are warm and the friction is producing the sound? Any help would be very much appreciated, as I am bringing it in for the first service on Friday and would like to be able to make some suggestions to the mechanic. I will start getting more into the service myself once I spend the credit I was given when I purchased the spyder. I have had my Rt limited since May and have been enjoying it immensely! Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. Ride safe!

Without being able to hear the pitch and intensity of the sound, my first guess would be that it is the ventilation holes in the disc passing by the pads. If that is the case, it is normal.

Thanks Scotty, sounds reasonable!
