Sorry Guys I was not online for a while.
My 999 is a std 999 2005..not S or R.
This morning I called Daytona and they told me is the first time they are advised of this kind of problem, especially on new bikes. They didn't give me any indication on the phone as the best thing to do was to bring the bike in. On the phone they indicated that can just be dirt in the calipers (???) . I have provisionaly scheduled the service in a week time, but I am keen to take everything down and check by myself.
I just cleaned the bike tonight and I may pop tomorrow to a Duc dealer (the closer I have is in Reading.. I think Pegasus..dou you guys know if is OK??) ..or I am taking the caliper down and the pads.. As with this weather is a shame to have the bike in the garage (still I agree twinfan that is not the case to use it if I don't get a solution to this issue..) . I am still thinking is not that serious..but it is really odd. Again, I am sure at this point that the noise and the difficulty in turning the front wheel on the stand is coming from the brake pads that are touching the discs, not the bearings...
