My buddies does the same thing as do others I've heard. What pads besides HD are others running because of the same issues? Lyndal...organic or sintered? Any suggestions based on personal experience is appreciated. These are ABS brakes. Thanks
Had exactly the same problem when I switched to a polished rotor they started to squeek, right away. I switched to Lyndal organic and the problem stopped, right away.

Thanks much folks! Maybe I'll just pull the pins lube them up again and put on new OEM pads? The dirt road I ride daily may have a bearing on this?
Thanks again guys.

Mine was squeaking for a while. I picked up some break cleaner, (bio-friendly stuff) cant remember the name but wanted something that would not hurt the finish on my rims. After I road a few times and cleaned them after, it finally stopped for the most part. Mine are quite now, it took a few weeks of the treatment, not sure why this worked but it did.

Thanks...I'll try that out first? Worth a shot! Unfortunately, I won't know much until May. Its the earliest I can generally get my bike off of a spring muddy dirt road here in Vermont! Love that Mud Season..LOL
