Has any one had any problems with their brake suddenly developing a squeel at 30mph up to 50mph or more? Pulled off front calipers and looked for a stone or something that could be jammed in the brakes making the squeel. found nothing.
squirted the calipers and brake pads with brake clean took it for a ride and still there. Put it on the center stand and ran it in gear to isolate rear brakes no squeel. I only have 2500 mi on it less that 1 year old. Any Ideas, before takeing it to the dealer?
thanks

I'm confused by your post. Where is the squeal coming from? Front? Rear? Both?

Could be:

Worn pads (but your bike doesn't have many miles)
Something trapped between pad and disk
Anti-rattle spring or pad retaining clip or pad out of position
Bad front wheel bearing
Contaminated pads an/or brake disk
