3mph and the abs front breaks makes a small sweaking gurgle noise when i am coming to a stop... it is not the servos, I am very familiar with the buzzing noise of the servos. The bike was pulled out of storage 2 days ago 7400 miles, maintenence at 6000, the brakes a bit unused. I have put one tank of gas through the machine so i would think that any residual brake dust or storage dust would be eliminated. I do alot of stop and go when i am going from home to work.. any thoughts? I will try to explain the noise it is a small one when you apply the front brake it comes from the right side of the front whell it sounds like nail on a chalk board. i lay off the break it stops and then reapplying it can start up again. But it only happens between 6 and 0 mph. I examined the entire wheel and discs and this has left me pondering................ any thought?

Or the pad is slightly glazed and is "squealing"
