PC Brake Rotors
Written by goldwingman40 on 6/4/2011 at 02:19 pm

Jeff,
Most of the other than OEM honda brake rotors and pads don't work any near as
well as the OEM. You might keep looking on ebay to find a set of rotors from a
lower mileage bike being parted out or bite the bullet and spend the little
extra to get the new OEM rotors but by all means only use OEM pads, they give
you the best stopping with little rotor wear. Many of the aftermarket tear up
the rotors bad.

work well, but lately I've noticed a mid-frequency squeal from the front brake
at low speed, just before coming to a dead stop. Today I took the brakes apart.
The pads look good, but the rotors have a noticable wear ridge, and they measure
4.05mm - 4.1mm thickness, which is just over the wear limit of 4.00mm.
