Picked up 2022 R1T, x7000 VIN, 3500 miles.
I assumed it’s spent most of its life in place.
Mostly issue free so far.
Service scheduled for end of Sept.
Anyone out there experience a similar issue or have a suggestion on cause ? I can’t imagine the pads would be bad with such low miles and it seems to be coming from the front and back.
Video attached.

Thanks in advance.

there are few R1S report some type of bolt back out. Although you have R1T but it is worth to check

Sounds like a rear brake pad to me. I'd bet the inside pad from the parking brake.

I recently had mine replaced and they made a similar sound.

Thanks again for the guidance. I assumed I was going after the rear brakes and it helped me to isolate the sound. I pulled the wheel off and turns out the metal rotor guard was bent and in contact with the rotor. See pictures.
I just manually bent it back into position with my hands. Such an easy fix and saves me a 2hr trip to the Chicago service center!!

Nicely done. Some things are still DIY fixable on these complicated beasts.
