Squeaky Front Brake on 07 America?

There's only 500+ miles on the bike. I just bought it... used.

Are the brakes just settling in or is this a concern? TIA!

The more you use it the sooner it will go away.Mine stopped squeaking at about 1500 kms.

If it continues, grease the BACKS of the pads AND the pins with a light coat and be sure the spring retainers are not dragging on the rotor.
