|  Brake squeel I have a Virago 750. The front brakes squeel on it all the time until I engage the front brakes then it stopes. If I clean off my front rotor with brake and parts cleaner it stopes this for a while then startes again. There seems to be lots of brake pad left. Should I try and deglaze the front rotor, or just replace the front brake pads. I don't know.

| Some brake pads just squeak. Try sanding them a bit and deglaze your rotor if you know how to do it safely. I don't.

| Be careful. That stuff is highly carcinogenic, which is why you're supposed to use brake cleaner. Don't breathe it!
