I think in your case, you might just want to try another mechanic or a larger motorcycle dealer that might have more mechanics to look at your bike. I think the greasing helps but it really just covers up the brake/caliper issue a little bit.

I'm not sure but i'm assuming when my bike was in the shop they were able to mount my bike on a stand and spin the wheels to test for the squeak with the caliper's on and off. It doesn't sound safe/realistic for them to take it for a ride without the calipers on =D

i'm no mechanic but i already tried the greasing thing with my regular guy and it didn't work. You shouldn't have to grease that stuff as normal maintenance imo, there had to be some cause of it. Maybe you can just have your brakes and calipers checked anyways? seems like in my case the calipers needed adjustment or something.
