Default Front Rotor Noise

Okay.. here it is.. I did a power wheelie on my 929 nothing big only in first at about 15mph wheel came up about a foot or so and thats it. I noticed right after when I put the bike back on the stands and I spun the front wheel its making a shhhhhhh noise which I didn't have before the wheelie. Its like the rotors are making alot of contact with the pads and the brakes are not applied. Again I noticed with bike turned off on the stands. Just spun the front tire and shhhhhhhh.... Any ideas.. could something have happened when the weight of the front came back down, but then I would think the suspension would absorb that and the front wasn't that high from the ground. Thanks all...

It's normal. Every motorcycle I've ever been around sounds like the front pads are slightly rubbing up against the rotors.

Yep,

I'm with blue fox on that one. My bike has been doing the same then since I picked it up at the dealership.
