Looking to get ride of my squealing front brake pads. Use organic on one of the other bikes and works well. Any suggestions will be welcome! |

Not sure this will apply to a stock front caliper, i have Ninja 650 front calipers, but they came with HH metallic pads in them and squealed and sounded like a metal grinder. I swapped them for EBC semi metallic GG pads and it was much better. Many wont agree with that choice, as the HH pads are higher performance, but the GG pads dont seem to need as much heat to make them start working, and with two calipers i have plenty of brakes anyway. |

Genuine pads with abestos work great |

At over $200 USD to replace both OEM pads on eBay....................what's a little noise? Try taking some steel wool to the disk. |

For the H2, I found Ferodo asbestos pads and put the goop on the backsides. Squeal went away and then came back. Changing to an EX500 caliper has pretty much rid the bike of brake squeal. Funny thing though, my H1 has the stock caliper with Ferodo pads and no squeal. |

Had a bad squeal on my Kz so I but a dolop of silicone on the back of the pads squeezed the brake with a zip tie and let it dry a couple days, no more squeal. Didn’t know if it would work because I didn’t know what was causing the squeal ... I just got lucky with it. |

The squeal is just a vibration, as Demus wrote, the silicone should fix it. |
