Front brakes squeal...this feels like a saga in the making

[VLJ_imp]

j3qq, nothing worked for me. I replaced the pads, tried carbon grease, tried another specially designed "eliminate brake squeal" product, filed the edges of both sets of pads, had American Honda measure and inspect the rotors and calipers, etc. In the end they told me, "They're fully floating rotors. They squeal sometimes. It's perfectly normal. Don't worry about it."

In order to eliminate the squeal I suspect that Honda will need to resort to what Triumph did in the second model year of the T120, when they added the large, hard rubber bushing to the front rotors.
