As of today, all brand new brake pads, and a set of brand new Pilot Road 2's. I would appreciate any feedback on the right way, wrong way, and importance of breaking in tires, and or brakes.

Just ride the bike as you normally do, just remember the tires will be a bit slick for the first few heat cycles so don't go all gung ho just yet.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

This is exactly how I handled it on my new Shinko tires I just installed (005 Advance model) and after about 100-150 I wasn't worrying anymore. Around 200 miles on them I was taking roundabouts at 20-30mph and getting about 2/3 of the way to knee down with no slipping or worries.Originally posted by thetable View Post1991 Katana 750 (GSX750F) 23K miles

when I do brakes on anything I tell people to try and take it easy for a couple days "DONT DRIVE IT LIKE IT IS STOLEN"
"but if you need to use them in an emegency use them"
Pads tend to seat in , but hard first cycles can cause hard spots on the pads and rotorsBlood , its in you to give! http://www.blood.ca/Comment

On your tires take some sandpaper (120 grit is what I used on mine this time) and scrub the tires with that. I do this with all my tires to help remove the stuff that keeps the tires from dry rotting on the shelf. Bikes like the R1 come with a scrub pad when bought new. Just becarfull for the first 100 miles on the tires.
Brake pads make sure your rotors are clean and just brake has normal and they will seat in.Comment

i was told that the michelins dont use the agents that the dunlops continue to use to keep the shelf life going... dunlops are slick *** tires but the michelins are pretty good right off the shelf just dont whip aroundComment
