Default brakes

Hello when I ride my old girl 89 cbr 600f1 she moves but when I slow down and speed up I hear a squeaky noise. Breaks are not squishy, still very firm. I do admit I let her get rained on once or twice the problem developed after that. I am gonna clean the pads and caliper then stick the pads back on or new ones if they look bad.

if the brakes are not binding they may be just brushing the discs a strip and clean should sort it, I would get the wheels of the ground and see if the squeak is front or back, and check the wheel bearings ect

Well I found my problem my rear sprocket was coming off. I fixed.it did a little rear brake work the pistons worked fine after dot3 fluid. I can stop the rear wheel with the rear brake peddle, though I would like a little more play in the rear pistons they work fine now.

What do you mean by "my rear sprocket was coming off"?
