dotti mine started to do it 2 weeks after i had fitted new ones mate
Brake sqweal is normally caused by some crap stuck behind the back place of the pad and the caliper, causes it to vibrate and make a noise. Being this time of year its likely you have some grit behind the pad, my ninjas front left caliper was doing it last week, pulled out the pads sprayed in some brake cleaner cleaned the back of the pads with a de-greaser and put some copper grease on the back of the pads.
Put it all back together and no more noise
<edit....obviously if u have drums is the same thing but with drum instead of caliper > ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07

It's weird how you can find a new problem on your bike, come on here and get it solved without even asking a question
?
My front wheel starts squeaking when I peddle backwards, and I replaced the pads about 3 weeks ago. I was going to ask what it might be but I think I know now ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/fuzzbcf/

Glazed pads/ brake shoes will cause squeaking, as will lack of grease on the back of the pads. Cleaning the caliper and pad up, sanding the glaze off it and putting copper slip grease on the back of it before replacing it will get rid of the squeak. ____________________ I must not be a troll...
