The sound goes when the front brake is applied . I think the pads are not of good quality as there is no issues with alignment of disk plate or the rim . I am waiting for few more kms , then I will check with the brake fluid level as it is not able to hold back due to lower hydralic pressure , i think so .
Anybody has a solution , pls advise / share .

I had this issue for quite some time where the brake was squealing and I have to pull the lever completely back for the brake to engage.
Basic question:
How is the action of brake lever ? Do you feel that springy action ? Does it travel back to normal position once you apply the brake and release it ?
I went to Bajaj ASC and Castrol Bike zone and they were not able to solve it.
I went to a local mechanic and he examined for some time and found it was an issue with the cylinders. The pistons were worn out and they were not either pushing the oil enough or do not come back enough after pushing the oil.
He first replaced the slave cylinder (near the disc) and then the problem vanished.
It re-appeared after few thousand kms and I also got the master cylinder changed (near the brake lever).
The brakes were back to their glorious best.
You won't believe me, due to the issue with the Master cylinder, the brake lever will not action properly due to which my brake light will not glow if I use the front brake.
None, but a small time local mechanic was able to find the root cause.
PS: Bajaj calls the Master cylinder spares as the Major kit - Comes with O-ring and piston, springs and the Slave cylinder as Minor Kit.
