how long are they lasting? | ||

My front (oem) ones had about 10% left at 7000 miles. Rear still had plenty. | ||

 i was thinking my fronts looked a little low at 11,000 miles now. i looked at a new bike at the dealer and the pads didn't look all that much thicker than mine. i better replace them..better safe than sorry. | ||

Mine still look good at 10,400, I have some chatter but I'm not changing them until I have literally squeezed the life out of them. | ||

Look out for less than ethical dealers when dealing with this topic, as I had one try and tell me I needed pads (or almost needed them as they put it) at a 3000 mile service!!! Needless to say, I declined to have them replaced and check them out myself at tire change time (4500 miles), and they still look fine! | ||

I've got almost 14000 miles and the pads are fine. I'm not hard on the brakes though. | ||

10,000 on the fronts and only 2/32nds left, 4/32nds on the rears. New Lyndalls on now. Big improvement in brake feel, real noticable in the rear. Be sure to follow break-in/seating procedures if you use Lyndalls. | ||

Over 30K on my '03 XB9S and I still haven't touched them... |
