I got brakes from the dealer yesterday. EBC for the rear and CFM on the front. They didn't have any EBC in stock for the front. They are pricey, I'll say that. $200 for all 4 wheels. For some unkown reason, one side on the front was $3.00 more than the other. Just curious if there is a reason they are not sold in sets like automobile brakes?
However, I installed them yesterday, bled all four wheels, greased the sliders, and adjusted the pedal. The rear were completely gone and the front about 50%. They work amazing now. In addition, the bike accelerates much faster and moves much more freely than it did since it was new. I think NMKawierider is right and then have been stuck partially on since new.
Now I am left wondering. I had to have the belt replaced at 800 km. The mechanic at the dealer said I must have been pulling or towing heavy loads. They only thing I carried was three 5 gallon buckets of crushed rock about 100 yards 10 times. Hardly what I would call heavy hauling. I don't race it and although I'm not "old lady slow", I drive pretty tame compared to others I ride with. If the brakes were partially on, I'm thinking this may have also been what caused the belt to go so quickly.
