Squeaky brakes

Did anyone else ever run into squeaky brake pads? I put a new set on the front and when it's cool out the squeak and squeal every time applied. If its warm out they are quiet. I don't know if they are crystallized or what. I am going to try and buff them up on the belt sander to see if that helps. I forget the brand name of them now.
Making Laps, Twisting the Throttle and Cruzz control, it just don't get any better!

Mine squeaked and squealed at various times depending on temperature,humidity,phase of the moon,etc...I tried every trick I was told.I gut grooves in the pad,chamfered the edges and I used every product available to that promises to cure it.None of it worked for me.But Once I put Genuine Honda pads back on the bike it quit almost all together.I get an occasional squeak when the front brake is first applied,if I get on them kinda hard.That is the most annoying sound in the world

Wish I could remember what my pads are. They almost never squeal and they are not honda pads.
I guess I just make sure my pads are aligned right. I cut a groove in them and beveled the edges. Hardly ever squeals. I guess it depends on the pad material.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
