My rear brake is squeaking at low speeds. 2012 SG with 1700 miles.
Do I need to go to the dealer? Just get some brake cleaner?
Is this Normal?

Thanks in advance

 

My rear brake squeaked when the bike was new I dont remember how many miles it took to quiet down but it will stop making noise when it all breaks in.

 

My 08 was bad. Had to keep the rear brake area clean to keep it from squeaking.

 

Ok, that's encouraging. Thanks. I HATE Sqeaky brakes!

 

Mine usually only did it the first few miles when I was riding. After about 10-20 miles it would stop.

 

Take it a H-D dealership and be done with it. It will be covered under new bike warranty.

 

I may call them tomorrow. I bought it used a couple hundred miles/4 weeks ago but warranty is still good for 2 years. Just started the noise this week.
Again, thanks for the input

 

Here's the way I would fix squeaky brakes.
Mine don't squeal or squeak.

Here's a good article , different setup , same idea.

Most brakes are just a bit dry and the resulting vibration is a squeal , actuation would be a squeak.
