I got the impression that he used something like this, not the anti-squeal that goes on the back of the pads.  Can you confirm this tussey?

I doubt it since it said not to get it on the rotors.

Yea so I got some Anti-Squeal stuff from AutoZone. It said not to spray it on the rotor but only the pads. Whatever. I sprayed a bit on the rotor, and slowoly rolled the bike with slight pressure on the rear wheel to spread the blue goop across the rotor. Now no more squeal  :thumb:

Mine started squealing after I replaced the pads.  I'm too lazy to take them back off for some rehab.

Just wondering if gs breaks have a wear pin like some cars do.  In that case, when breaks are worn the pin will contact the rotor and make a squeaking sounds.  Since I haven't seen it mentioned, however, it's prob. not true for breaks on gs.

Well my 05 has had a squealing rear brake right from the day I collected it, and yesterday, I met up with another 05 owner, and guess what, his did exactly the same thing. Quite annoying, but I might do something about it when I get back from Phillip Island (the Aussie Superbikes is on next weekend  :thumb:
