Front brake noise - HELP PLEASE

[Nyllajean]

Replaced the front brake pads on our 2014 Spyder RT, seemed to be a very simple task. Ordered new EBC double H pads and some CRC brake quiet and installed them. Now I have a "fluttering" noise for lack of better words when stopping at a higher speed. Slow speed, say 35mph it is fine but traveling 55 and hit the brakes and there is a fluttering sound. The brakes work fine but the noise is too loud to ignore. I researched on this site and some say to round the leading edge of the pads so I did today and no improvement. It has to do something with the vent holes in the rotors I'm thinking, sounds a little bit like when you used to put ball cards in the spokes of your bike as a kid but not quite that loud. Any help would be appreciated! I ordered new Can Am pads today but really hate to change out new pads for other pads if I don't have to. Thanks!:yes:

I doubt you can get rid of the noise. The noise was really loud when i had organic pads on mine. Now with the ebc double H pads its much quieter, but still there. Doesnt affect anything and I have learned to ignore it.

wondering !

if you can ride backwards --- safely ----- say about 50 feet at a time , hit the brakes or apply them , get them warm too hot ! might be able to get them seated to the rotor ( kind of wear them in -n- reverse )

I have that noise with the new brake pads. I think it sounds like a quiet cicada when I am braking from speed, not loud enough to bother, just a noise that is there.

If it doesn't affect braking: just do what my Missus does... just turn the radio up, and the problem goes away! :joke:
