For about the last 100 miles my front break has been giving me a not so sweet song. What do you guys/gals suggest to fix it, that is with out replacing the pads I did everything per the owners manual on break in, so not sure where it went wrong. |

I did a day at the track and got the rotor nice and burnished - that cured the squeak! |

You might have been too easy on it and polished it. Need to drive the heck out of it and grind some of the pad off. |

Inspect the gaps between the pads. You may have a pebble or something lodged in there. |

Just checked, no pebble or any other foreign objects. May have time to make a canyon run tomorrow, I'll give it a good workout if I do. ![: )](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/clipart/happy.gif) |

Just use them, ONE good stop wont fix it. 99.9% of all squeaky brakes are caused by the user. Dont ride them to a stop, make them STOP you. Dragging the brake is only gonna make it worse. |
