The brakes get glazed from use. Every time you apply the brakes, they get hot, and that heat builds up a glaze on the pads. Some pads more so than others. My VTR1000 has 35K on it and never had the brakes squeak. I use EBC HH pads. Then again, I nevr use the rear brake except to hold the bike still at a light if I need to let go with my hands......
