So I finally hit the 600 mile mark. Took it in to the Montgomeryville Cycle in Montgomeryville, PA, yesterday.
On the way there, I started noticing some grinding from the front end.
I was able to replicate it by downshifting and turning and also a change of pavement, made it more noticeable.
So, I mention this to the service advisor and they said its because we have metallic brake pads and it was normal.
I get a call today, they said the bike had a abs error. Weird because, 1) there was no light on the dash. 2) I only had 637 miles on it.
They said they went ahead and disassembled the calipers and found that the abs sensor and calipers were all mucked up with brake dust. They cleaned it up and cleared the error. and the error did not return.
This is a maintenance issue, wish I knew because I am fully capable of removing my calipers and hitting it with brake clean and compressed air and now I have to pay for it.
Sorry for the long post but figured I'd give you guys the heads up.
**Cliff notes**
If you hear grinding from the front end. Clean your brakes.
