Mine did that till +-800kmJust to add. Despite torquing up, mine still does it when cornering at speed! Let’s know how you get on?
Maybe some of you will laugh but I had exactly the same "noise" and I read everything and its opposite until I realized that it appeared around 15,5 mph. It is absolutely not a question of torque. When I "modified" the engine for private areas (of course !) , the noise disappeared like a miracle. As this noise resembles a metallic friction, it is believed that it could be the brake caliper but it is an internal noise of the engine related to the limitation to 15,5 mphHi! I bought an E-ST 900 in December but I just started using it because of the weather. Everything is fine, except I also have a noisy rear brake (when cornering at 20+ km/h). What is the correct way to fix? Is this just a simple brake setting (what I will learn on YT ) ? Or should something be replaced in the store?
Then for those who have formally located the origin of this noise at the caliper it would rather be a manufacturing defect of the hub on which the disc support is mounted. Simply try to mount another wheel with the recommended torque and seeMine is definitely the rear brake rotor connecting with the pads, despite tightened to 20nm.
If you grab the rear wheel and move it with one hand from side to side. You can see the rotor move side to side in the brake calliper. There simply isn’t enough torque!
9 months old and 1850 miles covered, but still does it!
Would a shim work here, maybe?Mine is definitely the rear brake rotor connecting with the pads, despite tightened to 20nm.

Google translate has become so much my best friend that he can stay at home ?If you look at some of the axle heads, they're thicker than others. If you compare the image from @DT36 for the sram one, it has quite a slim head. Where as the one @Chal "modified" ... has quite a thick head. I take it the default one is quite brittle as I stripped the hex head on mine the other day (specialized - same sized axle) and ended up hammering in a t40 torx to get it out.
Bodge it !
This post has been sponsored by Sam Pilgrim .. After yesterday's awesome day of tool destruction and converting a torque wrench into a much more useful torque hammer. We headed off to find something new to destroy ! Today's bodge - removing the rear axle .. I actually used a torque wrench...www.emtbforums.com
It might not just be a case of torque. The axle can only go in so far on the receiving end with the thread. Over torquing might pull it in slightly further, but it might be that they made an error and it really needed a 147 axle ? So maybe the answer is to place a 1mm spacer/washer over the axle so it clamps the rear triangle 1mm tighter together when it's tight ? ie, imagine the head is then 1mm thicker along the shaft, so the shaft is then effectively 1mm shorter.
So .. like Gary has said in far less words and far quicker

Your thinking of a stilusHello, thinking on buying an EST900, anyone knows why they changed the Bosch motor to a Brose?
Douro ?Will let here a video, of a ride in a mountain here in Portugal, with a nice landscape on the top.
yes, Rio Douro (which flows into Porto city) down bottom there.Douro ?
I'm from Belgium but I really love Portugal since I was young. Wonderful landscapes and really nice people.yes, Rio Douro (which flows into Porto city) down bottom there.
Really nice trip. What was the power setting to achieve almost 100 km ?
- 96km
Distance- 5:30:43
Moving Time- 1,061m Elevation
All in Eco mode and on some flat straight parts speed was over 25kmph so motor assistance was off..Really nice trip. What was the power setting to achieve almost 100 km ?
