after 8300 miles the squeaky rear brake has gone away. I did a brake fluid flush and it seemed to fix the problem. Its so weird to come to a quiet stop.

Got a little brake fluid on the pads ?

Mine comes and goes with the weather. I tried using anti-squeal on the back of the pads once. Didn't do much or last long.

I just don't use the brakes anymore, 'cuase it kills my MPG ;)

I too have this problem every so often.  Annoys the crap out of me.

it WAS designed that way to make you learn using front brake more  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

yeah... it's annoying I'd like to get rid of that too but for now I just don't care.

My new 07 is at 1500 miles and the rear break is still squeaking like the day i got it. Cant wait till it goes away.

No fluid on the pads, this is day 2 of no squeak. awesome.  It might partly be due to less humidity as i moved from a PA valley to the VA city.  But it was squeaking every ride up until the fluid flush, and i adjusted the rear break pedal just a bit to grab sooner.

for 8300 miles it taught me to use ALOT of front brake. And now i know the person in the car next to me is checking out my bike instead of wondering where the eeeeeeeeeek came from.
