Question:

Front brakes squeaking on 1983 Honda Shadow 750VT?

Just looking for some possible explanations for this before I bring it to a mechanic (so I don‘t get taken for a ride). I am brand new to motorcycles, and received this bike from a friend. It is in excellent condition, and runs great, except just this past week the front brakes started squeaking loudly when the brake is NOT engaged. It happens when walking with the bike, and when riding - its loud, and is not constant, but comes in a 1-2 second on/off patten. It seems to lessen when I brake. Some friends suggested its a brake warning detector, but that seems like it would engage when the brakes are applied. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.
