Default Front brake pad noise

I replaced the front brake pads and now I can hear them singas I'm going down the highway. It sounds as if they are ever-so-slightly touching the discs. I've swapped the pads around and even bought another set of pads just to make sure I didn't get a bad one. Anyone else experience this when they replaced their pads? The pads are EBC HH sintered.

Are your rotors warped a little?

I've only been through the original setof pads and didn't hear this noiseuntil I replaced them. I don't feel any problems with the brakes when using them and if it weren't for the slight noise they make, I'd never suspect anything was wrong.

Unless it's making a lot of noise I wouldn't worry about it. The pads are supposed to slightly rub under normal conditions anyway. I can hear mine when I push the bike into the garage with the engine off.

the dealer replacedthe front brakesa month ago with ebc, I hear them too now and when I roll the bike in the garage I hear it as well. I especially hear a whizzing/buzzing noise when I engage the break over like 30mph..But they are working good. Everyone said its normal

I triedlifting the front wheel and seeing if it spins freely by hand.The wheel does not spinwithouteffort andit comes to an immediate stop as soon as you let go of the wheel. The rear wheel spins freely.
