Front Brake Clicking Noise

[WOTYSGTB]

Hey all. Picked up the new ride yesterday and I noticed when moving it around in the garage a clicking noise when I release the front brake. I plan on putting it on the lift to dive deeper into the issue but from a quick look at the calipers and rotors it all looks good. Any ideas ?

Sounds like something the dealer should look at (warranty issue) and document.

Is it happening when you reverse your bike ? If yes then the sound is coming from small play from the rotors. Hold the rotors with both the hands and try turning it. You’ll feel a slight play.

Mine does the same- moving the bike forward or rearward and hit the front brake, I get the clicking noise. Dealer said they all do it. It is the play in the front rotors and nothing to worry about.

Floating brake rotor. Try grabbing it with 2 fingers and giving it a back and forward wiggle and see if that's the sound you hear. If so, it's intended.

agreed, floating brake rotor. Mine does it all the time, nothing to worry about

My R3GT with 9k on the clock has started doing this - to the point I can not only hear it, but I can feel it through the handlebars. Happen nearly every time I come to a stop and I can reproduce it by rocking back and forth while applying the front brake. Very disconcerting, but evidently very common (?). Any ideas on a fix, or some way to lessen the clicking?

nice color choice, how do you like the torque?

Louder ear buds? LOL, couldn;t help myself....I have 6K on mine so I will watch for the issue, thanks
