This. Been running them on My bikes as long as I can remember. Pretty sure the first set I installed was on my ZL900 Eliminator, back in 1985.

I found the problem...

Glad you found the issue and thanks for giving the update.  We see lots of calls for help and then no feedback as to what the problem/fix really was.

Slightly off topic, but is there a recommended after market pad for stock rotors?

Stick with the Kawa pads unless you have a some reason to change. I used EBC just because I always have, and went back to Kawa pads because of the noise, they make a raspy racket when braking.

I use the EBC HH pads with good results. IIRC the OEM front pads went about 25k, replaced by EBC HH pads which went until I changed them when I changed the rotors...so they went about 40k. The OEM rear pads went 56k and were replaced by EBC HH pads also. I change the brake fluid about every year (made easier with SpeedBleeders!)

As to the longevity, I do a lot of highway miles.
