    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    The 1150 tourer is on 64000 km - never changed pads yet - will have them checked next service.
    It is all long distance riding though not city riding.
    Ride it until the wheels fall off...

    Did a set in the FZ1 but I did'nt really need to but I had spares left over from the Ace and they were the same caliper so I thought what the hell...
    The 14 has done around 23k now and the pads are okish but I might replace them soon, I don't really see the point in flogging the last out of brake pads, particularly in performance machinery.

    The front of my Fireblade has lasted 13000km (still going) while the rear replaced at 11000km. Original pads when bike was new. I use my rear more than my fronts.
    Don't just live to ride but ride to live.

The bike shop could see no reason for the disks to be warped. The Metal Gear disk replacements show no appreciable wear and the same set of scintered pads that went in when the disks went on aren't even half worn 25,000 kms later.
    my gixxer k7 ones were the same.. i swapped the rotors out to Brembo about 5k in and added some race pads

    I don't "comfort brake" I am just doing the speed I want to be doing for the corner before I get to it... makes the ride so much smoother...

    When I do brake it usually gives my friends a bit of a fright the are usually wondering what the red light is on the back bike is .... lol

    On my sv650s I got about 5700km from the last set of front pads (Premier standard ones) doing a mixture of track days, weekend rides and touring (riding to the track days).

    "comfort braking" is a really bad habit. just to clarify.. I dont actually brake.. but pull the brake on to check if it is still there. comes from riding a bike with really shit brakes for so long.

    Got my shit together and got some new ferro pads and some cleaning and now I have brakes. Went for a blat this arvo and now when I touch the lever the bike slows down! A little foriegn idea really but Ill get used to it.
