My 04 xb9's front brakes just started squeaking. I clean the break dust from around te rotor. what else can I do to stop it?

Get the rotor scrubbed, but mine still squeak. Maybe try a different pad other than the OEM.

You can also try pulling the pads & beveling the leading edge slightly. Has always worked well for my HD.

Sometimes mine squeak, sometimes they dont. I just live with it.

Wow the front?! My back one squeaked like a rusty door hinge when the bike was still fairly new. I tried a spray called De-squeak from Auto Zone. It worked okay but I think the pads finally broke in before it stopped.
