I'm frustrated at how hot my rear rotor gets even unused, pads seem to wear pretty fast. Spinning the tire by hand on a stand has no drag. Maybe I'll let it idle for 10 min and see if it heats up still. Just popped a new rotor and sintered pads on today and cleaned the pistons, bled er. wrapped exhaust packing and loom between the horizontal master/ brake line and motor. I've always been able to skid the rear, today it chirped. Grabbed the IR temp gun tonight after 10 highway miles. front rotors 90f rear rotor 135f with little use (feels hot as fck.Do polished surfaces read accurate? rear caliper 130f master 125f clutch cover 165f swinger 150f Header/crossover/link pipes range 311f(rear cyl) -175f front. I'm tempted to mount a duct on the swinger to see if it's just due to being faired behind all the hot stuff or friction.

Braking's top of the line OE replacement SK2 rotors are available from Riders Discount! Available for numerous models, these are a great, affordable upgrade to your braking system. Pictured for the Yamaha R6 Commonly seen on many AMA race bikes and throughout the trackday paddock, take a look at any bike's front rotors and you'll likely see Braking rotors installed. SK2 rotors are directional, please take note during installation. The SK2 rotors are directional because this was found to permit better ventilation during braking and improved the temperature stability, even during racing use. Outer and inner diameter of the disk have a non-round design that enables better radial expansion of the rotor under extreme heat conditions. Moreover piercing holes are replaced by edges specifically designed to grow brake pad regeneration process.

I recently had my Honda Trx700xx apart this spring. So while it was apart I changed the rear pads. The OEM pads still had like 1/3rd to 1/2 the life left on them after 2 1/2 years of riding. The fronts went out after 2 years. So I order'd a complete set of eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-FR-R-Brake-Disc-Pads-TRX-700-XX-08-13-2008-2009-2010-2011-2012-2013-ATV-/230852769478?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35bfe5b6c6&vxp=mtr I figured this way i would have the fronts when i needed them in another season or two. Well after just 2 1/2 short months of riding the occasional 2-3 times per month, my rear pads were GONE! So I re-installed the OEM's till I can order a decent set. Please let me know a decent brand for a good price. I know the Sumo's are cheap, but they were not the cheapest on eBay by far. I seen a full set on there for $13.99 and up to $68 for just fronts! Here's a picture of the pads, the Sumo's after 2 1/2 months are on the left, the original OEM's after 2 1/2 yrs of use are on the right. .
