Illinois Posted August 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2014 May be missing the boat but seem to be reading most folks need to change back brake pads before the front. Most bikes are just the opposite. Have I misread, need more coffee, what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted August 17, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2014 On the RSV (probably the TD also) the rears go first. I guess partly because there are 2 up front to stop and the weight. What will help you on the rears getting a few more miles out of them is at about 5-6k swap the pads from one side to the other. I do it about everyother oil change so maybe 8K or so. Your milage may vary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
