I have a squeaky rear brake on my 2011 TBA, only 7000 miles. Any easy fixes? If anyone recommends new pads, who has had good luck with which manufacturer>

How much do you use your rear brake? I wore my first set out at 4500 miles. I was completely green though and on it all the time. I pretty much use EBC pads from FastEddy all the time.

EBC pads are what I use. Try this... Remove your pads, take a scotchbrite pad to the rotor and clean with brake cleaner. The scuff up your pads and blow the dust off em. Reinstall and bed the pads. Heres a link from EBC: bedding in MC brakes

I'll pull the pads tomorrow and clean the rotor. I'm pretty easy on the back brake, I use the front & lots of gears for slow down. I'll check out the EBC' from eddy (of course). Thanks for the feedback guys.

+1 brake dust will make them squeek.
