Scooter Bob Posted April 30, 2011 Share #27 Posted April 30, 2011 What V7Goose said about the rear, down to metal in 10k-12k on factory pads is right on. Since then I have been using EBC pads, not sure the grade, but they cost about $30, and I just put a new set on every time I change the rear tire (about 16k) and they always have some meat on them, but not much. I too, must be a heavier than some user of the back brakes. I still have the original Yammy pads up front, with almost 81,000 on them now. For that kind of life, I think I will pay whatever Momma Yamma wants for another set. Ya, they've been out a couple times to grease up the back sides for the squeal issue, but that's it. Just my , Scooter Bob As long as this thread just showed up again, and since I just took delivery yesterday of a new set of Avon sneakers and the usual set of rear pads, here's what I've been running on the back, they last a little more than the life of the tire, and I just change them every time I mount a new one. http://tapatalk.com/mu/a6b540b5-93ca-4230.jpg Later, Scooter Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfoster Posted April 30, 2011 Share #28 Posted April 30, 2011 Here are the rears that I said I was going to post and had forgotten about... That's about what my rear pads looked like with 27k miles on them. I put on a set of the HH's last week and wow what a difference in stopping power. To me the HH's have alot more grab to them, or maybe its just because they're new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozlander Posted May 1, 2011 Share #29 Posted May 1, 2011 I normally swap the pads from inside to outside and visa versa to even out the wear. Get a few more miles that way and wear them both out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus1300 Posted May 1, 2011 Share #30 Posted May 1, 2011 I have made it a practice to swap rear inside for outside at the start of every riding season. In Februray of this year I replaced thr rears with 36000+ on them.There wasn't much left and they wouldn't have gone another 1000 mi.Unfortunately I wrecked that bike a month later and it is gone.I use the EBC HH.

Yup, that's what I use too. For what it is worth, my rears wear evenly as one may or may not be able to see from the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
