Title: Front brakes....... Post by Georgiadigger on 04/01/12 at 00:09:22 I know this will be just a ballpark number but, I am curious about the answer. With normal wear & tear, how many miles should I expect to get out of my front brake pads. My bike has 3,200 miles on it. Pads & rotor work and look fine but, squeal like hell. I've tired cleaning walked the bike backwards depressing the brake to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Respectfully, Rocky |

Title: Re: Front brakes....... Post by verslagen1 on 04/01/12 at 00:18:40 around 5k there's a groove, when you can't see it, it time to change go for kevlar pads, will last twice as long a guy in florida sells a "X" brand I really like. |

Post by verslagen1 on 04/01/12 at 20:49:52 This is the brand I like... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Brake-Pads-Suzuki-LS650-LS-650-Savage-NP41A-87-99-/370513468462?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item564452dc2e&vxp=mtr Couldn't find it when I needed it so I'm using these now... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SUZUKI-FRONT-Brake-Pads-LS-650-LS650-Savage-Boulevard-/190548462293?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c5d92cad5&vxp=mtr both are acceptable, I got about 12k miles out of the top ones, still working on the bottom. |

For future reference... Here are my front brake pad data so far: 1. OEM pads lasted 3200 miles. 2. Ferodo Platinum pads lasted 4100 miles. 3. EBC Organic pads have been on there for 4800 miles and are getting close to the end. I can't complain about the performance of any of these three different pairs of pads. While my durability numbers are less than stellar, I must point out that, while I don't ride my Savage aggressively, almost all of the bike's miles have been urban ones...... |

it says from 87-99 would these pads work on my 07 or did somethings change with the breaks after 99? |

Title: Re: Front brakes....... Post by splash07 on 07/16/12 at 07:44:03 nothing has changed on the brakes since '86. those pads will work fine. Also, I have found that verslagen's drilled rotor also helps with the squeel. |

Title: Re: Front brakes....... Post by renegade1 on 07/16/12 at 14:42:32 do you guys know of the micro sensor or something when i change the pads do you know if it will trigger my rear light faster or do i have to get that sensor? |

Title: Re: Front brakes....... Post by renegade1 on 07/16/12 at 16:55:17 yeah i have an 88, and on some other thread guys were talking about a micro something |

Title: Re: Front brakes....... Post by WD on 07/16/12 at 17:26:31 There is a "micro" switch under the brake lever. But it is just a standard brake switch. No way to really make the light come on faster. If yours still works, don't touch it... $5 universal part but still... Cheap plastic crap... >:( |
