I just had new EBR brake pads dealer installed, they are now making a loud whine sound when used coming to a gradual stop. There's no exhaust residue blowing on them due to the barkers. Any ideas?
It doesn't do it when I'm on them hard, only light pressure.

Different pad materials will make different noises.

I'm sorry I made a mistake, my pads are EBC not Erik Buell Racing. I've put a few hundred miles on them and they are still squeeling and causing the frame to vibrate that's how loud it is, sounds like an awful trombone. It usually happens when coming to a slow stop and I'll use the rear brake to give my right hand a breather. I tried cleaning off the rotor and area with CRC Brakleen. I'm stumped.
