Clean all of the crud out of the groove on the pad with a screw driver. Rub the friction side of the pad on a bit of wet n dry to remove any glaze. Put a bit of copper slip on the back of the pad and on the etaining pin and reassemble. Make sure the disc are clean and free of grease and grime while the calipers are off.

had exactly the same problem with my transalp,i stripped the pads out of the calipers and gave the calipers a good clean getting all the gunk and **** out. cleaned the pisons using a small nylon brush (or old toothbrush) using a proper brake cleaner. i then gave the working side of the pads a quick rub over with sand paper and put them back together. pain in the **** to do but huge difference!
