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.

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...
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!

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.
