Had the Fazer (2001 600) about 4 or 5 weeks now and absolutely loving it! Brought as a second bike for commuting during winter months to save my Kwaka 650 Versys but enjoying it more than I ever thought I would! 
Only one issue at moment, the front brake has started squealing when applied gently to control speed in traffic and stopping at low speed, doesn't happen under normal braking. To say it's driving me mad is a bit of an understatement! I've tried giving the disc, pads and calipers a good clean by spraying with brake cleaner and hosing off but it's still there, I seem to remember from my days of fiddling with cars ( :o ) that this could be caused by an anti-squeal shim which always seemed a bit ironic?!?
Any thoughts or advice most appreciated, help save my sanity. PLEASE!! :'(
