I changed out my rear caliper on my 04XB12R due to some striped threads, and put new Ferodo pads in. I have noticed that the pads are wearing uneven. The pads against the piston seems to be thinner in running them for the last few weeks. I replaced my rotor also and have noticed that the same pad is not wearing the rotor near as smooth as the other side. I checked again to confirm the pads are seated correct and the brakes have been bleed very well with the MityVac. Should I be very concerned. I do have some new OEM pads I could put in place of them. What do you guys think? |

Come on, you guys are killing me. No takers on whats wrong with this brake. Im gonna change out my pads in about half an hour when I get home from work to the OEM Buell pads. Will let out the piston some and clean it again real well. I noticed that I can push lightly on the pad and it will create a micro gap and not touch the disc, so I know its releasing. I can only figure its the pads themselves. My last set of rear Ferodo pads didnt wear right on the disc either, but I thought that was because of a misaligned install on the caliper. |

Maybe better luck over in the KV with the brake section, definitely more technical support there. |
