A buddy of mine has a Suzuki Valusa 800, and he and I were riding not too long ago, and I am having lovely squeaky brakes.  He said all suzukis that he knows of have the front brake squeal.  Is that true or should I be taking my front caliper apart and changing pads?

I bought the bike back in July, and the brakes have always had squeak to them, and because he said that they do that I didn't think much about it, and my bike has no problems stopping, and I don't hear grinding, so...

If you could ease my mind and tell me they really do all squeal that would be great

common complaint is front braking announcers.

couple of solutions:

1. wash disk with soap and water, dry well.
2. dry well, brake slowly to heat disk till hot.
3. replace with squeakless pads, EBC reds.
4. anti-squeak on back of pads.

Glad to hear it isn't just me.  Everyone knows when I have the front brake on.  *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeek*  Thanks for the advice.

Ride safe,

Awesome, I will have to do that.  I am glad I really am not alone

Gerat. Now I know what pads to get when teses squeekers need replacing!!!

It don't take a lot, anti seize, hi temp bearing grease, just a thin smear.
