Default Brakes squeaking after only 1,500 Miles?

I got a new 2012 ISF and I've been recently hearing the brakes squeaking, after only 1,500 miles on the ODO? I haven't even been riding it hard, just casual daily driving. Is it normal for the brakes to start squeaking so soon after normal use?

Brake them hard! Do pad and rotor bed-in. Squealing is definitely not normal.

Could be dirt somewhere, get them cleaned and looked at. Complain to the dealer...

Brake dust is a big problem with the ISF. At some point that will lead to squealing. I can literally wash my rotors by hand and then within 2-3 car trips I start to get squeaking.

Different brake pads can help. I have some I still need to install...they will help the brake dust, noise, and over-bite-ness of the OEM ones.

But OEM brake pads are annoying so this sounds completely normal to me.
