Default clinking sound and brake pad squealing

Hi,

I own a 2004 Intruder 800. It only has 140kms on it, pretty much still in the breakin period. I am noticing some clinking sound, can't really specify front or back but it sounds like a bicycle bell "ding-ding" when the tires are spinning. Happens very sporadic...sometimes constantly and sometimes it goes away. Can't figure out what it is...

secondly, sometimes i hear the brake squealing from the back drum and the front disc squeaking. Is this normal in the first while or do i need adjusting?

Thanks.
