Are your caliper bolts tight? Don't ask me why this is my question...

Stock brakes?
 
I've had that and it wasn't the front break....check to steering nut....giv it a snug...when brakes applied it flexes front end.....if not that id check front wheel also.....or maybe a caliper is dragging or sticking a little..
 
yes stock brakes all working freely.and bolts tightened to torque settings.
 
is the clickng at a certain speed or force on how hard you apply the brakes.....???
 
If you think it's the anti-squeel plate causing the click, just remove them. The worst thing that could happen is you will have a squeel instead of a click. I have never seen a motorcycle pad with these anti-squeel plates on them but have seen a lot automotive pads with them...
 
Both my bikes have the anti squeal plates.....pretty sure that's factory....seems to work...hh pads and no squeals.....

As for the clicking.....that's a head scratches... I'm sure Sean would have a better idea as to what's going on there

+ 1 on checking the steering nut .
 
All sorted was the clip that sits on top of pads. I just pulled it back so pins are tighter fit. Thanks guys :eusa_dance:
