Is it normal for brake pads to squeal after being installed?

There are many reasons why brake pads or brake linings start to squeal after being installed, even if you use a high quality brake pad and it turns out that the main reason has nothing to do with the brake pads, as you know a motorcycle has a whole brake system that requires all its parts to work properly to provide efficient braking.


If you have just installed the brake pads or brake shoes and they start to "squeal" the first thing you should do after making sure of the quality of the brake pads, is to check the condition of the brake disc, as it is very likely that it already has significant wear.

When the brake disc already has notches, grooves and an irregular surface, it is very likely that the brake pads do not seat completely on the disc because it is not completely flat, which can generate annoying noises and a less efficient braking rate.


But don't worry, it's not serious and you don't have to change the disc either, you just have to give the brake pads time to seat completely with the disc, which happens during the first 150km approximately.
