When I brake I hear a faint buzzing noise. Its definitely electrical. Fuel pump perhaps? Why do I hear it in my helmet? Anybody else have superhuman hearing that only works for fuel pumps when pulling a brake lever?

My S2R used to do it, I just put it down to the brakepads moving around on minor imperfections in the brake rotor, possibly the holes in the rotor. Extremely unlikely that it's anything electrical.

Not electrical, maybe the flux capacitor. :D

My wager is that it's your brakes that are making the noise during braking, not your fuel pump.  If I don't miss my guess, the noise is from hot air escaping from the drilled holes on the rotor after the wheel rotation removes the holes from being covered by the pad.  My bike makes a light buzzing noise as well when I decelerate and I've never had any issues with performance in that regard.

Flux capacitors are electrical!

The stock pads on my S2R were pretty "whizzy" while braking.  Since I switched to the "race" (Ferodo the first time, and EBC for the second) pads, no more strange whiz under braking (unless I got used to it and don't hear it anymore).

Break = what you do when you take time off of work. Or when you render something useless.

Brake = when you are trying to slow the F down.

Sorry ..... couldn't help it ....... much ..........   ;D


Don't get me going on then and than.............   [roll]    [cheeky]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

All that said we used to get quite a buzz when on break a long. long time ago.    [evil]

The noise is from the semi floating rotors and is completely normal.

lol, I get this too, only from the front brakes. at first I thought it was an electrical buzz too, but it's definitely just the noise of the front floating rotor.

I hear that all the time on my zzr, I initially thought it was the brake calipers needed cleaning. Did so, and it still does it. Just ignored it after. [roll]
