#281077 18FNXS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Re:Watch Your Rear Brake Pads!!! 2 Years ago   Stroker, I was hearing the same grinding noice out of my front brakes and was told to try lacquer thinner (as in paint). Wipe it on the rotors, let dry and off you go. I was informed that this is a common issue especially in the fronts that are more suspetable to dust build up. Have over 20k on the bike and still lots of meat on the pads... may change them just for something to do, but at least the noice has disappeared.

I ain't saying any thing but COME ON I don't get 50,000 out of my car how many pair of boots have you gone through FRED Well lets just leave that I don't use brakes, I just drive a lot.. My Mustang GT convertible that was saved when it was a year old(98 I got in 99, with 27,000 miles) I did the brakes when I got it and it has 98759 on it the last I looked. Still doesn't need them. My dodge Ram has 92,000 miles and I got just over 60,000 on its set but I haul a trailer sometimes with that. My bike rear brakes still worked cause I did 26 ft of skid mark before hitting the guy that pulled in front of me. nice straight line in the middle lane on right side, and never did brakes on the bike, just rode it a lot.   Logged     Paul K&N, V&H Powershots, 185DJ, Stock Pilot, 3.25pms   The administrator has disabled public write access. #281357 Inubus (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 726 Re:Watch Your Rear Brake Pads!!! 2 Years ago   just did the brakes on my wifes 08 mitsu lancer for the first time 2 months ago 92000. but she drives about 100 a day commute with very few stops along the way   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #281359 stroker (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 166 Re:Watch Your Rear Brake Pads!!! 2 Years ago   18FNXS wrote: Stroker, I was hearing the same grinding noice out of my front brakes and was told to try lacquer thinner (as in paint).
