Time to replace the stoppers on the old girl. My IS has 8500 miles and the rear brakes are worn out. I have only ridden it 2500 of those miles. Is this normal or did the previous owner have an heavy foot. I don't use my rear brake heavy unless needed. I would like some suggestions on the best shoes for her. You know with a lady its all about the shoes.  |

Sounds like someone had a heavy foot on the rear.
Some people use the rear only unless it is a pucker factor type stop.
Pads, EOM on EOM rotors.
Several on the board had squeaking problems with after market pads.

I use to wear out rears at 19K. I changed my braking style and now go 30K on the rear and 40K+ on the fronts. Now have 114K and the next fronts will need rotors too. Probably going with GL1800 rotors and OEM pads.

After past experience with aftermarket, i think that OEM works best! No squeals or rattles.

You know with a lady its all about the shoes. vesrah, ferodo or OEM. Vesrah makes most of the OEM pads for the manufacturers. OEM pads are HH rated as are my vesrah pads. search my name in the tech section, I have posted some other info and links. |

I have used EBC HH for the past 15 years or so on all by bikes. In my experience they stop faster than OEM and wear about the same.

OEM with OEM Rotors.....  Others have experienced more noise, dust and even less wear with other than stockers.... Some may use the rear brake a little more for slow maneuvers... the "friction zone" as outlined in Ride Like a Pro.... |

The rear caliper floats on 2 pins. If these pins get cruddy, the result can be dragging pads & a shortened life for them.
Something else to watch for when putting on new rear pads is that the interstate does not use the white plastic spacers which the Standard & Tourer need. The last OEM Interstate pads I bought had the spacer pads included. I double checked the part #'s - they were blister packed as interstate pads.
For what it's worth, I have a Standard, but buy the Interstate pads & move my old spacers over to the new pads. Saves 8 or 10 dollars if I remember right.

Good Heavens, I have 60,000 on my bike and haven't replaced front or rear pads. Something must be wrong with the way I ride.

Doesn't sound like anything wrong with that Dragonryder.
sounds like your always on the go. I think the brakes were sticking even though the rotors don't show any evidence of it. I will find out when I change them out. I'm going with the Honda pads. The EBC's were about the same price as Honda.
