Weird noise coming from the front

[cjsp]

Hi guys

It is an odd noise coming From the front when starting from a total stop. It is something like is dragging. I have notice that if I increase the rpm’s before start up the noise disappears. This is just happens after a complete stop. After the bike is running normally the noise is no melote there. Weird

Have you experienced something like this?

Thanks!

Can you share a sound clip ? There are several noises that happen from time to time so we need to hear it to figure out which one you have.

Maybe the front brake pads are hanging up a bit. Crud builds up on the pistons in the calipers! You can clean the crud with brake cleaner and a toothbrush, but you will have to remove the calipers!

Jag. Make sense. I will take a look. Thanks

Jack up the front.
Spin the front wheel to see if you feel/hear noise from bearings of drag from rotors.

That’s a nice idea

Try looking at the front brake discs first, if you find a black line on them, it can be something stuck under the brake pad, happened to me not that long ago. Noticed weird sound while pushing the bike in the garage.

The front rotors should be floating, but sometimes they don't because of dirt and gunk. That could cause some noise.
