Hi

mine seemed to do exactly same thing. It seemed to resonate. After washing it, or in the wet, it seemed to happen more.

It seems to have since stopped (I've ridden it quite a lot recently, using the brake harder than usual now the tyres can get a little warmer). Maybe it was just glazed pads, as others have suggested.

However, maybe coincidentally, I've noticed some movement in the headset. (there seemed to be an almost 'knocking' sound coming through the bars - different to the braking vibrations). I got a friend to pivot the bike onto the back wheel and side stand, lifting the front wheel slightly into the air, and there was indeed a little play. The noise I could here when driving it sounded like it was coming from the forks, but checking it more it seems not.

Got it booked into the dealer early July for them to take a look under warranty (already took it in for them to check it quickly, and they agreed there is a little movement, and a weird knocking)

I've got the bike a little longer before it goes in, so I'm going to still ride it, and see if the brakes noise comes back.

I take it the breaks still work well? If not, definately get it down to the dealer...
