Help Figure out what I need to replace

[twistedcricket]

New brake pads. Check

Flush brake fluid, all around.. Check (thank Brodie & Hycle!)

Test ride.. Check! Clear out to Markleeville, CA and back

Brodie led me on a fun ride to make sure everything was working properly....and noticed that I have a headlight bulb out... oh fun.

Thank everyone for reading and making suggestions. This has certainly been a memorable trip!

I made it home around midnight Central Time last night. Fewer issues

Least of my worries Purchased new bulbs and replaced those before heading home.

They were tossed. I don't think the pictures showed the grooves that were cut into the pads by something (rocks?) or that there appeared to be small cracks. Also, while you are eager, I would hate to have sent them to you only to hear that they failed you. I didn't feel comfortable with the idea at all.

EBCs are the way to go. Those stupid expensive yamaha pads....

Thanks for everyone's replies, suggestions and comments. This forum has always been a great place to get help, get ideas and get dog-piled

Was all this just an excuse to stay away from work longer?

I just want to know if Hycle kept you fed and supplied with beer?

He did make a great breakfast Jul 2, and the offer of anything I needed, tools, a place to stay, a car to drive, and "are you sure you're not hungry?". Excellent hospitality! I was actually staying in the Bay Area for the week so my bike lived at Hycle's for the week.

I can work anywhere I have a reliable internet connection. Which is a blessing and a curse. I was staying at my manager's place so A) there were no hotel bills and B) there was no rush to return.

Leaving the Bay Area and returning to the swamp-ass-heat-and-humidity of nebrasuck was painful...

Omahell, Nebrasuck. LMFAO!! When I was working there at least I had sense enough to cross the river and stay in I-O-Way. Them casinos had killer buffets.
