Brakes

If anyone is wondering I have the Hi performance pads that come with the bespoke package and after 500 miles of easy driving, I have not noticed any squealing of the brakes. They dust sure, but that's easy to take care of with coated wheels. I did NOT perform any bedding, only followed the guidelines in the manual for the break-in period (i.e. no heavy braking/avoid sudden stops for the first 180 miles).
Regardless, to me, I will drive it to 5k or 10k depending on how bad the squealing and do the TSB. I did this on my GSF and no squealing.
I’ve came to term with the brake dust. That’s why I have the black rims on.

500miles is not enough for the brake to have squealing issue. Mine was quiet to 1200miles and it’s now starting to squeal occasionally. I guess it depends on the temp and humidity.

Good question. Maybe it needs to be updated. But the pad will definitely squeal. Mine is doing more and more. First noticed it at 1200 or so. Not to a point where I want to take them off yet. But I can see the same brake squealing problem as my GSF.

Interesting. I'll see how it goes and then try bedding them in if it's too annoying
