[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1174486, member: 20946"] Brake pads: My Gen1 '05 had uneven wear on the front pads at 25k. I swapped them left to right and put em back in. At 40k they've worn themselves back to being straight and even and doing fine. Why did you have to replace yours so soon? I trust you've replaced your rear pumpkin oil. It only takes a couple minutes. Brake fluid: do not run that bike 2-up through the mountains where the brakes might get good and hot with old fluid... especially if it just might be 9 years old. Even if you only change out the front, it's worth the time. We're talking about 15 minutes here. I assume you know how to do it, it's super simple.
