New Bohemia, VA | Good mileage in my opinion. Always depends on habits and mechanical condition, sounds like you're doing well. |

| The owners manul told me how to check or measure. I did it at 18 k didn't want to replace rotors. I used EBC pads. Maybe a little better stopping but every thing helps |

| I was on another site where a rider was torquing his banjo bolt down and the manual said 22 foot pounds. Pulled the threads right out. He was in shock.
Should be 22 inch pounds |

Anderson, IN (48mi NE of downtown Indianapolis) | I'm on my 3rd set at 35k. Neither of the old sets were anywhere near worn. The first set I replaced when I replaced tires since I had things apart already. The second set I replaced when I replaced loose rotors. I plan to put the old pads back on and use them until the grooves disappear. |

Beer Collins, Colorado (there is no fort) | I have my rear wheel off getting ready to mount a new tire-here's a pic of my stock rear pads at 30,000 miles 90% two up. I have new pads ready but these have a lot of life left in them-Brian
