Either you had faulty pads, or you use it quite heavily. 2500 miles seems really bad for the rear brake pads!

The make which people tend to stick with is EBC, but there are differing opinions on whether to get sintered or organic type.

If you're new to bike maintenance a Haynes manual should be all you need. I think I'd go back to the dealer though and point out how quickly they have gone and ask for new ones.

Mine are fine so far. I reckon you have duff pads. I'm not sure your warrenty will cover your brake pads but there is no harm in trying.
