So it ISN'T Red ligh stop, green light go, yellow go faster? I was also informed by another KLRista that there is some kind of spring washer that is missing... Gonna look into that as well. -Andy 1995 KLR650 "Barbie" 2000 Suzuki Intruder VS800 "Wifey's Bike" Don S wrote: Try reducing the amount of times you use the brakes. Use engine compression and down shifting to assist in braking. Also, as I explained to my wife, when approaching traffic lights, you will without fail, absolutely every time, have a red light after the yellow light. Once she recognized and understood that infallible sequence, she started slowing down when she saw the yellow. Her brake replacements went from once a year to every five years.

Thus i am asking here: 1)Why am I going through rear brakes? I just replaced them in March and put 7000 - 8000 miles on (as well as 3 rear tires) 2)Why is the inboard pad wearing faster? That is why I am replacing them this time and why I replaced them before... I clean (with emry cloth) and lube the rods that the brake rides on... I make sure it is moving smoothly too. What gives? -Andy 1995 KLR650 "Barbie" 2000 Suzuki Intruder VS800 "Wifey's Bike" PS I have been searching for a better carb for the KLR and when I find it I will let you know. I think Holly will be my best bet... --------------------------------- Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Yahoo! Small Business.
