Front brakes replaced

[dadofthree]

I am assuming you have put a few miles on these since the swap. How are they working for you?

Working great, 21955 miles

Curious... If you can even tell, how is the brake dust vs OEM?

I'm realizing why Suzuki went with black wheels, lol.

Haven’t noticed any difference

I knew I hadn’t been riding much this summer. I need to retire, retire

Similar problems.

EBC Extreme Pros are really expensive ($160 for both rotors) but they work exceptionally well.

I am shocked how fast my front pads are going away. How on earth did you get 19k out of the OEM pads?

I imagine it depends on your riding, I had a bunch of long trips, not much stop and go

oh I live in the DC metro area and its nothing but stop and go. 100mph to dead stop for absolutely nothing. It Def eats front tires faster for the same reason.

That's why I was surprised that you was changing pads at 3700 miles, I think I was slightly above 20000 miles before changing front and rear , there isn't a lot of material even on new pads especially comparing it to a car .
I wasn't trying to be funny, only offering advice

Ceramic and cf embedded pads have very little brake dust.

Yea I get it. Its hard on brakes here where I live. Its constant traffic. Ive done a few road trip on it but its mostly commuting for me. I am not the weekend warrior. I ride to work most days. I go out to get something to eat I ride. I ride just for the hell of it. May not be long distance but I ride it. Here 10 miles often takes an hour or more to make the trip. Ive had my kickstand down on the interstate waiting for traffic to move.

OE pads are thicker than EBC by about 1.5 mm. The old pads were 2.7mm and the ebc were back up to about 3.5mm. But on the flip side OMG the difference in braking power.
