Brake Squeal during break-in

So just hitting 400 miles, and for the last 100 or so, I have now developed a faint squeal coming from my rear brake. Anyone else experiencing this during the break-in period?

100 on mine and no squeal.

Clean the rotors and it should stop.
Check for a bit of road debris, give it a clean or even give it a blow of air at your local filling station.
Had this with my sss for first 200 or so miles but nothing since . Now on 1220 miles.
Perhaps bedding in I thought but seems yours has just started so ???
Doubt it's really anything much to worry about. But like everyone said, clean em' up and see how what they sound like after that. Perhaps take it to the shop if it doesn't ease up after that maybe.
cleaning the rotors may not be enough. you should clean the pads and maybe even sand them a little bit. sometimes the pad's material has alloy in it that causes the squeal. if this is the case, then it's normal.

I have the same issue! Been like that since about 500 kms. Kind of annoying pulling up at a stop light on a Ducati with brake squeal. ha ha

I'll try cleaning a bit and see what happens. I have a service scheduled anyway!

I AM getting front brake issues. It's like the rotors are warped.. On a slow stop the bike is doing that pulseing thing and it's super annoying.

I wiped the rear rotor with a shop towel and a light amount of IPA and the squeal vanished.

See new thread about front brake pulse.
