Strange abrasive noise? If it's a Bridgestone BT021 then they all do that sir. :D
Don't know if the more recent BT023 has the same effect though.


If you can go for a short run avoiding the front brake and hear the noise, come to a stop (rear brake only) and see if either front disc is hot. If it is, you do have a brake problem.
