i get an occasional squeal from the front right brake, it doesn't happen when you apply the brakes, but appears to start when pulling away & starts off as an intermittent squeal, it sounds like something is dragging on the disc but on closer inspection everything appears to be ok ??

Any tips as what to check would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Paul.

clean the brakes thoroughly with brake cleaner and apply copper grease to the back of the pads should help

warped disc?

Binding piston and or warped rotor,set up a dti or tape a small screwdriver to fork leg and spin wheel to check rotor run out,strip caliper and check condition of piston and pins.make sure pad is free to move...Paul J

Out of interest is it cost effective to have discs ground?

High melting point grease generously applied to the noisy disc has always cured the squeak for me

Thanks for the comments, will start with trying the copper grease first & see if that cures it first

FusionPaul, you should also check the caliper mounting bolts. The lower ones go horribly close to the disk. You will see a witness mark on the disk if this is the problem. Often a washer is left off allowing the bolt to move closer to the disk. Just a thought!
