EBC pads buzzing

[tim0409]

Hi there

Last month I fitted EBC HH brake pads to my 2023 Triumph Trident (front only), and since then I’ve got was is best described as a “buzzing” noise when I am riding along without using the brakes. This is more noticeable at slower speeds as the noise is then drowned out by the engine when I’m going faster. After searching the internet I’ve read of similar issues with these sintered pads, but no real resolution. Anyone else had similar?

Apparently once they bed in the noise subsides but I’m now on 500 miles since I fitted them. I did take them off and chamfer the edges as I had read this helps, but sadly not in my case. If things don’t improve I might swap them out for OEM.

thanks in advance.

Ive recently had these installed on the front of my Suzuki and havent done 100 miles yet, but I cant say I've noticed anything, although my exhaust is quite loud.
Maybe give them a few more miles, and if you're still noticing it try another brand?

Thanks; you are right, I will give it another 500 miles and see how I go.

I’ve noticed them being noisy in use but not just rolling.

Did you clean the pistons before pushing them in? I’m wondering if you have a little bit of binding?

Likely a sticky caliper piston/pistons.

It's normal for ebc HH pads to buzz in use though. Sounds like this:
