Default RE: Brake sqeak on 08UC

I think they went with brembo to stop better not to stop noise and i does that. Very happy with the brembo upgrade. I think its the pads so i was just wondering if others have same issue. I am aware of most potential problems and i am still very pleased with my 08 UC. I just glad i am not like most and expect perfection. I am happy to fix most issues myself and do not want to run to the dealer everytime it makes a noise. thats why i ask.

Mine had the same noise, but it has gone away after 1000 miles.

Have you tried taking your bike to the car wash and giving the calipers a good blast with soapy water?

Try Lyndall Racing pads

Noise goes away, brakes work better, and you can get both fronts for about $90.

Come to think of it, my 07 VROD does the same thing. Rear brakes squeek. It too has the Brembo brakes. Went away after awhile.
