Try simple brake cleaner rated for abs system. Jack bike, Carefully spray into calliper and pads. Don't over spray on anything else. Spray clean rag and rotate wheel while holding the rotor. This usually eliminates any drag due to glazing.

If your swing arm is warmer on the brake side this could be your fix. Be careful on test ride after cleaning pads rotor.

the sons 09 Nt had a squeak in the rear and believe it or not, it turned out to be the BELT..

The only wrench at our dealership that we let work on our bikes give the son a little 1'' tin of some kind of belt dressing/grease and told him to ONLY apply it to the Edges of the belt and apply it sparingly making sure it didn't on the teeth part of the belt.

One application and the Squeaky noise was gone

I finally took everyone feedback about what to do for my bike and decided to replace the bearings. I reached out to my local HD Dealership and was caught off guard that they would only put HD accessories on my bike. Has anyone else experienced this or is this just my dealership. Call me crazy I dont want to put another HD part in there to have it fail after only 2500 miles.
