Break in period questions

New bike owner with questions:

Brake Break In question: Got my GZ this past week. Just now up to around 60 miles on it. When coasting at very slow speeds I can just barely hear the whisp whisp whisp sound of brake pad on disk. Sounds like my old ten speed with slightly warped tire making brake pad touch tire in one spot on the rim. Is this part of normal "break -in"?

Suspension question: The factory preloads the rear shocks at the 3 position. I know I need to change the settings and ride each to see which fells better. Anyone out there my size 5 11" 210 lbs have any recomendations?

Signal quesiton: One of the front signals is angled down slightly, whereas the other is facing straight out. I took it off but can't figure out how to adjust. Most people would never notice but now that I have, it bothers me.

All answers/recomendations appreciated. Anthing else I should look for during break in period?
