Front brake making funny sound.

Got a question. Its an 07 with 3900 miles that I recently purchased. When rolling the bike foward and applying the front brake, everything as normal. When rolling the bike backwards then applying the front brakes. It makes a chattering sound like the brake pads are loose. Anyone experience this?

I think that's just the discs moving in their mounting rings. I get the same thing.

brakes

It's the pads.Nothing to worry about.They move a tad in reverse application.Mine do it also.Although with mine,it's a one time event on application-they don't chatter.They click.
