1 Do K100 rear brakes squeal or is it just mine? Mon 07 Dec 2015, 15:36

I've been wondering. My rear brakes have always squealed, sometimes worse than others but almost alway squeal, often when not applying the brake. I've changed the pads several times. So is it just mine or is this a K 100 quirk.
The springs are in place, I'll have to check on a rebuild kit or something for the cylinder, maybe. I have always just ignored the noise and occaisionally would try new brake pads to try and eliminate the noise. BMW pads seem to be the worst for noise, I've tried other types, ceramic, non metal, etc, but still they make noise. I'll look at the cyclinders and try and see if the pads are returning properly.
