If you're getting thru pads that fast maybe it's all the comfort braking you must be doing, stop riding like a nancy! :lol: :laughat:

pha do you know how to ride?

let me take that back of course you do your on a bandit!

Well if you want the answers Joe you gotta provide the options. Edit the poll man, edit the poll! :wink:

Anyway I've worked out that you've got to be a particularly slow rider if you keep getting through front pads, fancy spending all that time breaking when you could be hooning along! :lol:

OEM's 15K
EBS HH's 18L
Ferodo SinterGrip ST's 21K and still going

Still on my original back pads at 54K.

I guess I don't use my brakes much do I

I seem to have had the same pads for ages, I've never changed them but they and the discs were new when I brought the bike, at 6K done 18K now with plenty left.

Just thought, a lot of motorway miles so hard to say what it would be round A/B roads all the time.

:shock: Just changed the rear pads, which were the standard pads at 13,500miles. I have checked the front ones and they have loads of life left although I think they were replaced before I bought the bike :lol:
As a side issue why can you fit sintered pads on the front and organic on the rear but not the other way round, :?:

rear pads changed at 19000 still got originals on the front at 21000

4 sets of fronts over 80k

Rear caliper and pads changed (seized solid) at 65k ( lots of life left in pads). V twin who needs a back brake anyway?

Cheers Mark.

Had to change rear pads at the 18000 Klms (otherwise nown as around 11000 miles). Left them a bit long as now the disc is warped from metal to metal contact. Fronts are sill going hard at 23000 klms
