Squeaky Brakes on Rocket 3 R Storm – Anyone Else?

[Koki_999]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing squeaky brakes on their Rocket 3 R (mine is a 2025 model, ~4,000 km on the clock). Under light braking at low speeds, there's a noticeable high-pitched squeal – mostly from the front.

The brakes work perfectly otherwise — strong and no vibration. But the noise is getting a bit annoying, especially in town traffic or slow riding.

Any tips, fixes, or pad recommendations?

Thx

It is light braking that will have caused the issue in the 1st place - the pads have a glazed surface. One option is to go out have brake repeatedly and hard from say 50 mph, that usually fixes it.

Take the pads out and give them a rub on concrete

Take the pads out and give them a rub on concrete

Or use some coarse grit sandpaper to rough the surface.

I have 2025 one, rear brakes stopped squealing about at 2K miles. Probably I hear a squeal once in a while, I am about 3.3K miles in.

The front slightly squealed in the first 100 miles but no longer.

I was planning to change my pads to EBC HH. Did that on my KTM's. I like the better bite. And anything that helps haul the big beast down in an emergency is welcome IMO. I think the R3 takes the same pad too..... I believe it will fix the squeal
