Brake pads
« on: June 16, 2011, 06:55:12 AM »
What kind of mileage are you all getting from the front brake pads? Particularly on the 08.

12k, but I don't trust the stealer that serviced my bike back then. I go to a new one lately and they are truly reliable and responsible, but I've done only 8k with the new ones so far  :-[

About 21k on the originals.  Still on the second set with only a few thousand on them.

So far I have 19000 on my 09' and the pads still look fairly fat.

I'm at 14,7xx on my '09 and mine are looking thin. Got a new set standing by to replace them.

Why so early if you don't mind me asking?

replaced mine (09) at 18,342.  I might have made it to the 20,000 mark.

Attention deficit disorder(ADD) is not just a problem in children. If you were diagnosed with childhood ADD/ADHD, chances are, you’ve carried at least some of the symptoms into adulthood. But even if you were never diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as a child, that doesn’t mean you can’t be affected by it as an adult.

I went over 20,000 on the first set on my '09 when they started to squeal, so I thought they were ready to be replaced.  I ordered the 2010 pads (new pad material, still HH scintered).  EASIEST pads to remove ever!  But it turned out I still had probably another 5-10,000 miles still available.  I changed them anyway (front and rear).

I got 17k out of the OEM.  Though I probably had about 3-5k still on them.  But since i am heading out on a 3k trip next week, I decided to play it safe and give the bike some new pads.  Went with EBC's,

It's a 2010, not a 2008, but 21630 and counting on the first set.  They are getting very thin though, so I already have new ones out in the shop, on standby.
