Some good advice from Guth vlj, in addition to that i would like to add my very own small story, on the hornet 900 which i am currently riding i have always had a bit of uneven pulsing brakes, sometimes more sometimes less, and my rotors are not warped or uneven, it was caused by the brake pad material inbedding itself unevenly initially on a slightly rusty part of the disks, you could not see the patch but you could feel it when the bike was pushed forward and the brakes applied lightly.
fast forward with new brakepads on the front brakes and the effect that has bugged me a bit has disappeared and the brakes have never been as good as now, the difference? change of pads!
Nothing to do with squeeling, i know but it may be worth changing them, i have not kept track of your progress and you may have already done so but it is interesting that it seems to go away after the edges have been chamfered and then stubbornly returns.
Best i can put it is like a bow on a violin with the resin, it catches and sticks, then releases in a high pitch, it may be worth a light coat of grease between the pistons and the pad and also on the side of the pad where it pushes against the caliper housing when the brakes are applied, no need to overdo it, you just need to convince yourself if it makes a difference and take it from there.
Have you tried to pour water on the calipers , disks and shoes to see if it makes a difference?
