From the day I got my Gl1100 the brakes have squeaked. I talked to the former owner and he said they have always done this and he had a mechanic look at it and the pads and disks have plenty of life left in them. I inspected them and concluded the same, yet they always squeak. I have sprayed brake cleaner on them, adjusted clearances, etc but they still squeak when they are applied. Any ideas? I have heard some brake pads have metal shavings in them and cause more squeaking. Anyone else run into this?
Thanks,
