After this thread about brake squeaking that I cleaned, changed brake fluid. The squeaking went about 2 weeks and back but very very minimal. http://www.600riders.com/forum/garage-mechanical-help/54166-start-squealing-sound-after-just-opened-checked-one-side-brake-pads.html?highlight=squealing+front+brakes
I used dust buster to blow out the debris once a week but the squeaking is still around,not too loud or continous but kinda annoying (you tube video below).

I checked and found the squeaking sound came from the brake pad pin holder where there are two clip holder clamped on it. The pin holder has been rotated around so I rotated it back to normal position so the knot of the clip holder point upward and there I found the squeaking sound when I rotated the pin holder..
Questions:
a). Can I apply some copper grease very very little where the pin holder's contacted the brake caliper (just a very thin thin grease) so the pin holder will be freely and not to have too much friction while in that position?
b). Or maybe I need to switch the pin holder left to right and reverse?
c). is it normal the pin holder rotated around? IMO it seems not normal and it look likes too much friction between pin holder and caliper which might lead to rotate the pin holder and maybe hair-thin copper grease to rid the friction?
d). OR order new set of pin since mine looks worn out..,,,the dealer said it's 10.99/piece without the clip..
