Author Message   Kruizen Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 08:41 am:        I seem to be going thru front brake pads pretty damn quick. How much drag between pads and rotor is normal? I'm getting about 3 track days out of a set of race sinter pads. After 3 days I was down to a dime depth on the the top pads and a penny depth on the bottom pads. Using SBS RS pads. I changed the seals and pistons out this spring.   Jdugger Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 09:04 am:        Not unusual for someone really using the brakes, honestly. Are you using the upgraded rotor and rotor hardware kits? Those make a difference in pad wear by reducing heat in the braking system. For a good combination of durability and performance, try the 2015 compound pads from EBR.   Nuts4mc Posted on Thursday, August 23, 2012 - 09:11 am:        go here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/689917.html?1345032259 scroll down ...the "wizard of stop" (JD)- made a great list based on his experience... experience is a tough teacher - the test comes first....the lesson later the wizard knows his stuff ( I use the EBR that he recommends above)
