New brakes probably squeak because due to the newness of the bike. The bike isn't broken in whenever you just buy it so it's still adjusting since it is now being used. Hope this helped!

ANS2:New brake pads and shoes do not make intimate contact with the rotor or drum. It is only after a few hundred miles that the surface irregularities are worn down so the friction of the braking force is not converted to sound by those irregularities causing vibrations.
  • Metallic pads tend to take longer to seat (wear in).
  • Getting the old rotor or drum turned (re-surfaced) will leave the surfaces evenly rough and speed the seating.
  • The anti-squeal goo that is packaged with many pad kits will serve to damp the squeaking. Apply it to the back side of the pad.
  • It is always a good idea to replace the associated hardware when you do a brake job. Ask for the hardware kit when you buy your pads or shoes.

Occasionally, new brakes will squeak or squeal for a short time as the pads get "bedded in." But in general, brake pads that are properly installed should not squeak, especially with new rotors installed at the same time. Usually, one of the following components is used to PREVENT squeaky brakes: --brake pads with built-in shims to prevent vibration that causes squeaking. --brake pads with external shims (usually thin sheets of metal) between the pad and the rotor. --lubricant OR adhesive between the brake pads and the caliper to prevent vibration. Auto manufacturers specify what anti-squeak measure(s) should be used for brakes of specific vehicles. If whoever installed your brakes didn't follow the correct recommendation, that could be why they squeak. It's also possible, but less likely, that the wrong pads were used. You should take it back to the shop that did the work and ask them to do it correctly.
