Am I imagining things? It was night when I got home, but I have noticed my pads are down to approx 1.5mm, I hear what sounds almost like a dull hiss when I grab the front brakes, and when I got home, it "appeared" like I had some black "sludge" floating on top of brake fluid in master brake cylinder. Lil lost...I mean, I know my pads need changing and plan to do next week when Connie goes down for mx, but the floaters? The sound? Is that the sound the pads make when they are about toast? I thought for sure I'd get more than 15,000 miles out of the shoes, but I guess I use them alot. Any input...appreciated...thx
Interesting enough I just changed out my clutch fluid master cylinder (brake fluid as well) and it had a 1/8 inch of black sludge settled at the bottom of it! I assumed it was the remnants of a rubber seal of some sort but I never actually found out what it was.
The clutch works and feels fine but there is just a slight trace of the black stuff still in the bottom of the container...even thought I pumped almost half the fluid container through it.
