Title: Front Brake Weird Noise
Post by: Bandit1250 on October 12, 2008, 05:15:16 AM

2007 1250 Bandit..........about 10,000 miles now when warm or Hot out I notice a funny "Whirring' or "Whooshing" noise coming from the front brakes when I brake. It's not a squeal like other bikes I've had have done.
Anyone else have this??  Bike seems to stop fine?

Mine has made a similar noise from Day One. It's an ABS model and the noise is normal. Do you have ABS?

Mine isn't ABS but it as well has made an odd noise in the front brakes.  Everything has checked out fine though.

Mine does the same thing. I had the dealer look at it real quick when I had her in for a service and they said there was nothing wrong with the brakes

I had the same problem. I solved it by wearing ear plugs.  :grin:

You JUST started to wear earplugs Ray??   :duh: :stickpoke: :bandit:


I guess it's a "normal" brake noise for the 1250?

I have the same noise on my 2007 non ABS Bandit, especially under hard braking. I don't even notice it anymore though.
