haha ill try not to, what is the proper procedure to bed new breaks? never had to do it before, and don't want to mess mine up.

for rotors I have some slightly used 11.8 floaters taken off another bike, which if I remember right is what you said you were using as well.

I agree change the pads and clean the pistons. Make sure all is sliding in and out smoothly. Then try another rotor.

Well... Didn't have anything to do with my (lack of) break-in procedure. Turns out when I had the wheels PC'd there was some material on the hub face, where the rotors mount. I realized this after thinking on this chatter. Took the rotors off, cleaned the PC off the hub, re-mounted everything and BAM! All good.

Now I just need to run some stiffer springs, brake dives a b¡tch! Haha. Really happy that's all it was, know I'll catch crap for not catching it in the first place, but whattheheck...

Yeah, Puglia, I'm runnin the same. Get that done, cuz! You'll be glad you did!

If anyone wants the stock set; calipers, extended lines, pads, get at me.

0 to 60 then back to 5mph then back to 60 then back to 5 as fast as you can. Repeat multiple times. I had to do it with the Brembos on my Mustang.
