Breaks squeaking.
My rear breaks are squeaking uncontrollably. I took it to Action Yamaha at the end of the year and they replaced the pads and rotors.
Now at any speed my breaks are squeaking and it is really annoying. IS there anything I can do? Should I bring it somewhere else?

Squeaking brakes is usually caused by glaze buildup on the pads. Does it squeak all the time, just when you use them? The glaze is easily removed with fine sand paper. IF you are not using the rear brake and they are squealing, it could be due to your pistons not retracting all the way and keeping friction on the pads /rotor. It is easily fixed by disassembly / cleaning / reassembly of your caliper. Without knowing how and if you use the rear brake , it is just speculation.

Pop your pads out, and scuff them just enough to get the shiny stuff off and reinstall. Your pads are probably glazed. This will fix the problem until they glaze over again. What pads did they repace the others with?

Pop that pads off? I don't consider myself a real DIY type of guy. The extent of my work has been to do and oil change.
I made them replace the pads with OEM pads because I felt that the aftermarket pads were the root of the problem.

What model yamaha? R-6? It really is super easy. Dont sell yourself short. If you can do an oil change, you can do this.

easier than taking them off is just spread them with a screw driver and slip some sand paper under them and scuff away. Make sure the paper is folded so you do both the rotor and pad at the same time.

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......

Really about never using the rear break. I guess I was just taught to break with both breaks when I first started riding. Come to think of it though when my rear breaks went out I had no problems with using the front alone. Hmm

Rule of thumb.....Rear brakes are for agricultural experiences and no hands at stop lights.
