Just back from 24k service - new rear pads.

There's now a (can hear it up to 30 mph over the sports exhaust) loud tickety tick noise from NSR corner. This stops with any light pressure on the brake pedal.

Am I right in thinking this is just the pads rattling around in the caliper and a bit of copper grease will do the trick?

Mine do the same, calckity-tickety-tick, removed the springs that keep the slight pressure on the pads against the disc. They kept locking up at track days without the handbrake on, so an improvement for the track, I find it a bit irritating when listening to the engine down a nice echoy road though!

Pads rattling as you suspect.
