I changed out my rear caliper on my 04XB12R due to some striped threads, and put new Ferodo pads in. I have noticed that the pads are wearing uneven. The pads against the piston seems to be thinner in running them for the last few weeks. I replaced my rotor also and have noticed that the same pad is not wearing the rotor near as smooth as the other side. I checked again to confirm the pads are seated correct and the brakes have been bleed very well with the MityVac. Should I be very concerned. I do have some new OEM pads I could put in place of them. What do you guys think?

Come on, you guys are killing me. No takers on whats wrong with this brake. Im gonna change out my pads in about half an hour when I get home from work to the OEM Buell pads. Will let out the piston some and clean it again real well. I noticed that I can push lightly on the pad and it will create a micro gap and not touch the disc, so I know its releasing. I can only figure its the pads themselves. My last set of rear Ferodo pads didnt wear right on the disc either, but I thought that was because of a misaligned install on the caliper.

Maybe better luck over in the KV with the brake section, definitely more technical support there.
