However they squeal like mad when i break gently at slow speeds (which happens a lot around town unfortunatly)

Is this because they are not bedded in properly yet or what, as the squealing is sending me mad -

could be a number of things.......most normally with this caliper its because of residue from the old pads causing the new ones to "bind" ever so slightly.......could also be because they are not bedded in properly, how have you bedded them??

I have had all four pads replaced six weeks ago and I've now covered another 2000 miles but they still squeek every day at slow speeds. Why?
The noise is worse when I brake in reverse.

I run DS2500 fron and rear on a Classic MY 99, and I'm on my second set of pads. NO squeal at all, best pads I have ever tried. I do a lot of track days and always bed them in. Follow bed in instruction in shipping box.

can't understand why there might be a difference between 4 pot's and 6 pot's in way of squealing but there you go.
Im having fun wearing them down (quickly as possible
) , and as soon as I do Im changing back to the originals!!
