Hearty Congratulations!! Wish you a long and safe journey with the bike!

Do post some pictures please. It is mandatory on TeamBHP to post pictures of your ride when you announce it on the forum.

Does anyone have brake noise (squeal to be specific) on their bikes?

Both my brakes are noisy since Day 1. I was hoping it will go away after the pads are bedded in. After 500 km, the noise still persists.

The front brake has a slight drag when it is not applied, and audibly squeals at low speeds.

The rear brake squeals when I apply it.

When I checked with the dealer, the response was ‘Do a few hard brakings and the noise will go away’. I don’t ride my bike hard, and want to go about this in a bit more scientific way.

I did read online that many J series riders had their calipers replaced under warranty due to the caliper pins being insufficiently greased from the factory.

Before I start taking things apart, would like to hear from the Reborn / Bullet / Meteor riders about your experience. Thanks in advance!

Disk brake noise are common specially when cold or new. The noise comes down after the rubbing smoothens out the surface on the disk and the pads.
The other reason for the squeak is when the brake pads have worn out and the metal starts touching the disk.

Any recommendations for durable alloy wheels for single disc variant? The stock RE alloys are made only for the dual disc variant. Although, I didn't have any issues with the tube type tyres, but I am getting paranoid to take it on longer rides.

Thanks in advance.
