Default Brake Caliper Question
Where and what type of lubricant do you use in the the two front grease fittings on the caliper?

Thanks in advance

When I am riding there is light chirping sound coming for the brakes. When I apply the brake it goes away. You notice more at low speeds. The pads only have 4K and they look good. (I have heard that vehicle pads have sensor's built to alert the driver when they begin to wear. Not sure if this applies to bike's.)

No sensor's on HD pad's. You have to eyeball them to check for wear.
