This may be the sound of the holes in the caliber passing by the pads. This is a normal sound that may have asked about.

CALIPERS

TOLD YOU happens on the RS

LOUDER EXHAUST AND STEREO

You just need a Louder Exhaust and a Stereo and you'll never hear that clicking sound.:roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

When I go on a ryde on my RS the click only occurs the first time I apply the brakes....doesn't happen during the rest of the ryde....I don't worry about it.

 

[Spy+]

It actually happens on a full time basis.. It clicks all the time.

If it's a kind of fluttering sound it's the drilled rotors and normal. It shouldn't be very loud though.....I can barely hear mine at all. Get it checked out if you're not sure. :dontknow:

I will have the noise check by an specialist $$ in a week (when back in town).. I will post the what the outcome..

Hi Coz, that was the first fix: got a hindle and new bluetooth helmet... by I can still hear the clicking :banghead:

hindle

if you can hear it over a hindle maybe there is something to it. when i got mine, all you could hear was the squeeling and squeeking of the sorry brake pads. disc brake quiet took care of that. i've never heard the clicking sound before. maybe you have exceptional hearing. either way , good luck with it and keep us posted:thumbup:

after riding my spyder 6ooo km's, i rode out of my driveway with a shorty helmet on. turned right around to find the clicking. put the full face back on and have never heard it again in 6000 more km's. any condition/any speed. if you can hear it with a full face on, you got a problem with the brakes.

If it's that loud have it check out at the dealer. Is your Spyder an RS or RT, what year, and how many miles do you have on the brakes.

I have confirmed this with my dealer when I first got my Spyder. It is normal. I wouldn't waste your money taking it to a specialist.

We have seen the lower ball joint cotter pin hitting the wheel weights. You may want to take a look as we have fixed a handfull of these. There really shouldn't be any clicking you should notice.

Thank you! Taking the spy to the dealer on Thursday, before riding to Daytona :yes:
