squeek, squeek

[muonwhiz]

Occasionally hearing some minor squeeks to brakes when applied as I first get out of driveway, but not heard after I have the bike at speed for street or highway. No change noticed in braking capability. Bike has about 3000 miles on it. More experienced ryders: annoyance to be ignored or warranty checkup time?

It's normal. They all do it.:mad:

Sounds like (pardon the pun) nothing to be concerned about. Usually caused by cold
or dirty brakes.

As already mentioned... UNFORTUNATELY this is common.
I've owned 3 Spyders (2-2008 RS's and 1-2012 RT-LTD) and they all squeak.
I would have hoped they would have it solved by now but NOT!!!!!:(

My best uneducated guess is that the pins that hold the pads in place get pretty gunked-up over time. Then the pads just can't move freely enough to get fully off of the rotors... :shocked:
Why not try dropping the rear caliper loose; pop the pins out and clean them up real well... See if that makes a difference.
Good Luck! :thumbup:

Pads exposed to all kinds of elements. If it gets to bad, I just give a quick spray of brake cleaner, and all is good.
