platinum Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I was told the high pitch squealing is the brake pads resonating on the disk and you have to apply copper slip to something in the caliper, but im not sure what. I also have a yzf-r125 just done another 200 miles after service and am having this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fosdyke Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 i'm going to take mine back to garage and get them to sort it out, afterall it's still under warrinty and i reckon this could be a problem with this model and they might have to do some sort of factory modification. I would definitely chuck it back at the garage - they should have sorted this/identified it at the service. But if you want to DIY then you will need to take out the pads and apply a SMALL (emphasize SMALL - don't let this get on the wrong side of the pads) amount of copperslip to the back of the pads - this should stop the noise.
