I test rode my friend's SV650 with higher handle bars and put appart the huge difference in the rider's position ( I felt like I will be thrown towards off the bike each time I used the brakes, and you are standing upright , I really didn't felt safe at all) I would also say that my brakes aren't hard enough. I really have to squish them to stop as fast as with his SV650 with 2 fingers.
I do have newer ( used but low miles ) new rotors , installed about 100 miles ago.
1. How long does it take for the pads to get used to the new rotors ?
2. Could it be that the brake pads are contaminated ?
3. I changed the brake fluid 1 year ago , it should be good, isn't it ?
4. The brake pads have a bout 3000 miles on them , since last August, I think they still have way to go...
5. The brakes hoses are maybe a little old but I can't feel them inflating when I use the brake. So I don't think it's that neither...
6. Should I just go with higher friction pads ?
7. Did I forgot anything ?
The least I can do is to remove the pad's to see how do they look, feel like.
Thanks for the help,
W.
