Brakes question

Pushing the 2012 r1200GS into the garage yesterday, when I touched the front brake lever I got a rubbing [ for lack of a better word ] sound. Off the lever, rolls with no noise.

First I'd noticed this [ wheel the bike into the garage all the time ]. Issues I need to have looked at? The pads have maybe 3K on them, brakes fine, no pulsing or anything out of the ordinary. Rotors are smooth to the touch [ no grooving I can feel or see ].

Thanks in advance
 
That is a normal sound as you are going very slow with light brake pressure. Same sound as on my bicycles with disc brakes.
