OK so here’s the deal. I took my bike in for its 600 mile service a couple of weeks ago when I left the dealer I hear a rattle, I didn't think much of it because they installed the bags at the same time and just figured the bags rattled a bit. When I got home I removed the bags and the rattle was still there. I tried to trouble shoot it with no avail. Back to the dealer it went. They couldn't find it either though the tech said he could plainly hear it. He was about to pull apart all of the plastic, when I asked him to ride over a bump while I stood next to I and listened. I could then tell that the noise was coming from the front break assembly. This noise is pretty loud as I could hear it 1/2 city block away as the bike rode over a bump. We found that the pads on both sides can be easily rattled with you finger. The noise completely goes away when brakes are engaged. The dealer tried to tell me that it is a characteristic of the bike. I'm not buying it! I told them that if the pads cannot be adjusted to NOT RATTLE, then it must be a warranty issue. They are calling Mama Yamaha now to see if others have reported this type of issue. The funny thing is that this noise didn't exist before I brought it to them, but of course they will not acknowledge that. So the question is: Are there any other 06s with sloppy front break pads or just mine.
Thanks!
