Default Screeching Brakes

Hi,

I've just purchased a 2007 ZX6 with 38000km on the clock. The problem i have is that the front brakes screech badly when i brake. also when freeing i can here a squeak as the front wheel turns. Does anyone have any ideas. Could it be new brakes and if so will it wear off?

Please help?

What is the condition of the pads? If they are new they might just need to break in, if they are old they need to be replaced. Let us know what you find.

Welcome to KF!
