rear brake pads.
rear brake pads.
My MK2 seems to get through its rear pads very quickly. I believe this is common enough but has anyone tried wavey or solid discs, and has it made any difference?
Also what about some of the covers offered by leasure trail etc.
Maybe I`ve just been spoilt, as my 1982 DR400 has drums front and rear, these last forever, but I suspect thats cos they never worked anyway. I await your cash saving tips. Phil.

yes a solid disc, no holes. all bikes used to have them B4 them new fangled drilled discs came out! I believe the brake pads last a lot longer in mucky conditions. i think people use them more on the back brack I again I think leasure trail do them. still got loads of meat on the back though and fancy the wavy ones as they look cooler.
GSR engineering advert in TBM for front and rear discs + pads £89 inc p&p seems worth a look when it comes up. (not B4 MOT)

shouldn`t be much in it weight wise, but may affect cooling and get some fade if used very hard. just looked a the back again on mine and the pad on the caliper side is Knackered, the other one is nearly new. I did make sure it all moved when i put the new ones in but now i have taken it apart and greased all the pins. The pad wasn`t EBC, that turned out to be the front ones, which are fine. the back ones have gold stamped on them, probably denotes how soft they are.
I can`t have done 500 miles on these. put them in about a month ago.
I`ll stick some EBC ones in now, what are these race ones called do you have a part number?
