| Just changes the pads on my '15 RGS, replaced them with EBC sintered. Everything is functioning properly however when applying the front brake I get a buzzing sound (not the ABS). Pretty annoying..... any folks BTDT ? Re clean rotors w/ brake clean and scuff pads w/ 220 sand paper? Any experiences welcomed, Thanks |

| I use Brembo street/racing pads on my Triumph Rocket3. Around town they are “adequate“ but you warm them up in a few curves and they are stellar! There is always a trade-off. But a, buzz?“ I never have had that even with stock pads. |
OK, see you later, Redcoat…

You will smell them if you are doing it right. And then make sure you have a couple of miles to let them cool down. Done. If you hit a red light, put your car/bike in neutral /park do not touch the brakes those pads and rotors are scorching. You don’t wanna make an imprint of your pads. |

You don’t wanna make an imprint of your pads. I'll get that done this weekend. Thanks for all the replies, I'll report back after. |
