How long does a pad last? My odo reads 32xx kms.-
I have got the rear brake pad changed in my bike at around 12k kms and the front brake pads are still doing good at 16k kms. I mostly use front brakes for stopping purpose. And guess the cone set took the burn of it.

you have gone beyond service limits. Normally in city riding conditions the brake pads will last for 20 K to 26 K kms....your brakes at 32 K kms is close to be like the train wagon's brakes...Metal against Metal...Originally posted by social View Post How long does a pad last?

The things that go bad on crank shaft are:Originally posted by Garry_Menace View Post
1. Main bearing-- you will hear howling sound as you accelerate.
2. Big end bearing-- you will hear sound like kat kat kat in the engine.
Both will develop over a period of time.For it to happen suddenly you should run the engine without any oil.....from what you have described ,yours is not Crankshaft problem.

Ok ...sorry i mistook it as 32 k...Originally posted by haxor View Post
You definitely have pad dust ,accumulated in the pads.Cleaning involves removing the pads and cleaning with Iso Propheyl alcohol or simple detergent cleaning and drying..Take it to A.S.S..because it is better done by them.

I check the front disc properly. The disc is definitely touching the pad. I can hear noise when I rotate the tyre. How do i rectify this? Is it DIY?कृपया यहाँ पर ज्ञान न बांटे

TVS's Rear Tyre Alternative
What is the best tire which will fit perfectly in rtr180's rear wheel other than sreechakra?
It's good on dry surface but really sucks on wet road or if riding with a pillion.

In disc brake system ,whether Car or Bike the pads will be in slight contact with the Disc .In fact the wheel will not rotate as freely as a wheel with conventional drum brake.This will not produce any problem...But the wheel should not be hard to rotate, and if you ride the bike for 2 Km,WITHOUT APPLYING DISC BRAKES,and then touch the disc...the disk should not be hot.If it is,then the brake is binding and should be set right..by A.S.S.It is not D I Y.Originally posted by social View PostWhen Was The Last Time,You Did Something For The First Time.Comment

Hmm.. Guess that'll have to wait till next weekend. I think it's touching very slightly since I haven't felt any loss is speed or handling. Hopefully there'll be no harm.Originally posted by psr View Post
