brake pad life?
what sort of mileage yould you expect to get out of a set of brake pads?
i run EBC HH pads in my 400 and also in my 1000 and have seen as little as 3000 milel on the TL. i was suprised today when i realised that i am to the metal backing plate and have covered less than 2000 miles since replacing the pads and disc. ok i have done 1 track day on the bike but this still amazes me  please let me know what you have at the mo, what pads you were using at their lowest mileage and what pads gave you the best mileage |

think I changed my discs & pads up front at about @ 16k (Not my doing, discs were scored from last owner) and am still on the same pads at 22k
If you're getting thru pads that fast maybe it's all the comfort braking you must be doing, stop riding like a nancy!
