Default Disc Brake Question

I bought a 09 EG classic a couple of months ago, and noticed right off that the disc brakes both front and rear sounded like they were rubbing a little. Stopped by my dealer and asked about it, and was told that was normal. My 05 RK never sounded like this. Are they feeding me **** here or do I have a brake problem. It's been about 3 months and I can't see any wear. You guys that are riding 09 EG's, are your brakes making this sould?

Thanks

Pretty normal. Just keep riding and one day you'll realize that it's not doing it anymore. Took a few thousand miles for mine, my sons and my brothers to stop.
