[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1377014, member: 19880"] New set of Dunlop Roadsmart III mounted and balanced. First impression (20 miles) is favorable. New brake pads all around. Cleaned up the pistons before pushing them back - the rear one had some corrosion on it that I hope doesn't chew up the seal. Wouldn't come off with rubbing and brake cleaner and I didn't want to go through the mess and hassle of popping the piston out to clean it properly or replace it. I think it is the third time I have replaced the front pads and the second time I have replaced the rear in 175,000 miles. Still using original rotors and have never had to replace any rubber bits. (Haven't put a micrometer on the rotors - probably don't want to know if they are below spec. They are smooth and not warped.) Other than the original pads, I have always used EBC HH sintered aftermarket brake pads. Just over half the cost of the Yamaha pads with similar longevity. Still stupid expensive for the front. I think Gen III use the same ones. Oil change with Rotella Synthetic. (didn't change filter.) All ready for a 2000 mile flit out to see my brand new grandson in Winnipeg Manitoba. Three days out and a few days there but maybe 5 or 6 days (and up to 3000 miles) return with some camping and sightseeing along the way. [/QUOTE]
