Squeaky front brakes
So thought I solved my squeaky front brakes with some brake quiet. I was wrong . So these are new DNA polished rotors and ebc double H sinter pads. Without applying the brakes ,with the bike on a jack you can hear the squeak catch in just one spot while spinning the tire. Took each caliper off one at a time and isolated to just one side. Pretty sure this a high spot on the rotor? Anyone have similar issues ?
I was planning on throwing OEM Harley pads on and see what happens.

I usually take 180 grit emery cloth and scrub the rotors in a small circular motion. Making sure to scrub all the old dust,dirt,grime off. Then clean with non chlorinated brake cleaner. I do this every pad change. I then clean the pad pins,inside caliper .clean all the junk off the Pistons with brake clean,get a small nylon brush,toothbrush does well,and clean the Pistons with brake clean.I use brake quiet on back of pads where piston touch and caliper grease from permanent on pins and top of pads where pads rub pins.I also put some on pistons when I have them pushed out.. I spend quite a bit of time on my brakes,I also bleed them every time I put on new pads,usually every year.I switched to Lyndall pads because I have found they have way less brake dust and I like that..I haven't had noise brakes in a long time,can't stand the noise.
