[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1254875, member: 19880"] +1 By the way, there are FOUR pairs of pads on the front, not two for a Gen II FJR. The two pairs on the left rotor are activated by the front brake lever as well as the upper of the two pairs on the right side. AS mcatrophy mentioned, the lower fronts are activated by the rear brake pedal. In any case, I see no problem with changing one pair of pads in the front along with the rear pads. Please make sure that the rear pedal is not sticking and causing premature wear of the pads. I use far more front brake than back and my OEM fronts lasted 40,000+ miles. Probably more than twice that for the rear pads. If the inside pads are more worn than the outside (common), you may want to swap inside-outside to extend their life. [/QUOTE]
