Have you practiced using it?? ..lol..

I have been using a little grease on the back of my pads for some time and none of my bikes squeak.

, yes we do that on cars as well, brakes needs to be serviced from time to time, it prevents from being sticky and squeaky

The only squeaky brake I ever had was the rear set-up on the stock '14 CB1100, sometimes under damp conditions.

Otherwise, never had brake problem on two-wheeled vehicles.

I do all my own brake work, from rebuilding the calipers and replacing what is worn; but the simple task of grease to prevent squeaking on bikes & cars, works. Takes no time, cost almost nothing, and helps you live with brakes that do not sound like something is about to lock up. Since I replace fluids every year or two, and attend to calipers if needed, I have very quiet brakes on my vehicles, and recommend more people take the time take care for the most important safety item on a bike, save the tires.

Agree!

lol - brake fluid?

Gold, It’s Honda Extra Quiet brake fluid. Hard to find, but worth it
