   Well guys my front brakes are making squeak noises after they get a bit warm ,that is from 40 kph/20mph till i stop ,my pads are great but discs are a bit worn ,could it be a disc problem or ?Braking fluid is full ,and it got racing fluid after my rear left braking cylinder died and leaked the fluid ,and it doesn't have any braking problem just the squeaking is iritating .Cheers guys and happy new year

   thnx guys i will check that after morning coffee ,found the issue tho,buddy in the vtr has the same problem ,there is a mountain road in belgrade called kosutnjak ,it is 1way road used often as a rally stage ,with great tarmac ,i love to ride there so part of it is hill climb and part goes downhill ,whenever i start to go down and he too ,our brakes catch on fire ,so discs are priority right now for change and calipers are great ,i would do a big brake kit tho but i am on winter 13's with 165/70 lol

   Check also that theres not a stone trapped in between the disc & pads,driving on roads like that it can happen mate.
