Noisy Brakes

[Z1000]

Hi all,

Just lately I have noticed that my brakes are becoming "squeaky" when they are applied lightly. If I really grab a handful for some reason then they don't squeak.

Apart from cleaning them, which I have done, does this lead to the point where the pads should be changed. The pads are only 2 years and done about 10,000kms. Looking at them they have plenty of meat left...

Do anyone have a solution to this, apart from replacing the pads?

Thanks in advance...

put some copper grease on the back of the pads

It takes two minutes to pull the brakes off and check to see if they need to be replaced. That's the first thing I'd be doing.
