Digging up the past. I have tried every piece of advice threw at me to stop my brakes from squealing.Nothing ever worked. A few tricks would work for a few miles,but nothing permanent. I'm convinced it is just the nature of the Bikemaster pucks. Maybe they will quiet after a while,but it's too annoying to wait it out. I got Eric to order me a new set of genuine Honda pucks.Put them on and it is silent as a mouse.I get a tad bit of noise when under hard braking,but only what is to be expected from any disc. Honda baby...they know whats up! I have been over 300 miles since I put the Honda pads on.I waited to post just to be sure it was not a temporary fix as all the others were.So far so good.
Interesting find, Ribs. My front brake has been squealing (when not being used) on and off these days and I was starting to worry about it but then I saw this post and remembered that it is pretty common. However, trying the original Honda brake pads (is that what you meant by pucks?) will be worth a shot... when and if I can afford it.. LOL
