    Typically the noise goes away after a track day or some hard use.
    Then it returns.

    Re: brake squeal!

    Popping in late here, but I have some very mild chirp at low speeds until the brakes warm up, after which they are silent.

    650 ish miles now. More coming as soon as the weather improves (rain, rain, go away ...).

    After 900 km they are silent. They were obnoxious before that.

    Mine went silent at 2500 miles and have been quiet since except for occasional first stops on a cold morning.

    Thumbs up Re: brake squeal!

    Thank goodness ,no brake squeel. I let the tranny slow me down for the most part with an occasional panic braking!! The wheels are just so darn hard to keep clean!!! I follow my display instructions and put her in reverse as asked on shutdown.Even thogh garage is flat and level.Different story for track racing and choosing best line etc. someday I will be on the track and use all of the road.Till then I just stay in the middle of my lane!!
