I just changed my front brake pads and they still squeak, or squeal. I'm new to working on bikes so bare with me on the n00b questions. My question is could I use the anti squeal paste used on car brake pads on my motorcycle too?

On Katana 1100's brake squeal is a sign of impending brake failure. I suggest you get rid of the bike immediately. If you're lucky you will be able to sell it for the same amount of money you bought it for, even though you have destroyed the braking system.

You know what, since I'm such a nice guy, I'll even give you twice what you paid for the bike. Let me know.

Yo, not sure if this might help, but when I changed my pads on my bike, John from CTR Suspensions also gave me this real extra-fine sandpaper or something to clean/bluff the rotors with, and said to use brake cleaner fluid along with the sandpaper. I still have some if you are willing to give that a try.

I've used that spray on stuff on my car. I'm sure you could use it on your bike.

I've heard brake squeal is pad vibration.
