Who has worn through stock brake rotors?

I'm wondering how many miles people are getting out of their stock brake rotors. I don't recall the actual measurement, but when I replaced my brake pads, I had more wear on my rotors than I anticipated. I wasn't at the service limit yet, but it didn't look like it would last past the new set of pads. So what are realistic expectations re: rotor life?

Also, I have read conflicting info about aftermarket brake pads and rotor life. I'm running Gaffer HH pads (and have EBC HH in the ready in my parts bin), like them a lot, but wonder if they cost me rotor life, or if they are more forgiving.

When it is time to order new rotors, is there a better option than the standard OEM parts suppliers (bikebandit, etc). They look a lot more expensive than I would have anticipated..... although most of the aftermarket ones are even MORE.... so maybe I have to just start saving my pennies, I don't know.

12,000 so far on stock pads and rotors. not noticing any excessive wear. I am probably easier on equipment than most, or everyting will break at once!!

I'm not positive, I need to look again.. but I think the FSM noted to replace the rotors if they get thinner than 4mm.

Don't quote me I'm going to double check that right now.

edit:
replace front rotor at 4.0mm thick at thinnest spot (0.16")
replace rear rotor at 4.5mm thick at thinnest spot (0.18")
If the disk can wobble (left to right) more than .3mm (0.01") than it needs to be replaced as well.

You can likely expect the rotor to wear much faster with upgraded pads. If you are stopping better, the friction is going somewhere..

Probably not. It takes the same amount of force from forward momentum applied to the rotor and dissipated as friction/heat, just over less rotational distance. Being able to brake better often translates into pushing things farther so that the user may go faster and brake harder and later, so you still might end up wearing it out faster, but that's all in the user's behavior. Also, higher surface temps are generated when the same force is applied over less distance so heat may make a difference in wear also, but I wouldn't say that it's enough under the same conditions to say that the rotors will wear any faster.

This has never been my experience with upgraded pads on street bikes.

So the upgraded pad takes all the extra abuse?
Any evidence to support this?

I'm sure the rotor wears more. Weather or not it's noticeable is another story.

When I upgrade pads on my flatland bike, the whole bike undergoes more wear because it acts at a higher performance.

Use more engine braking, use that energy to compress air instead of wearing out pads and rotors :P

It's basic Newtonian physics. Equal and opposite reaction. There is no "extra abuse" for stopping from the same speed because it takes an equal amount of force applied to the rotor to stop a bike going the same speed. The difference is that that same force can be applied with less wear on the pad, but that means faster stopping on the disc, not more wear. If it rotated half a turn instead of a full turn it's the same amount of wear but it's twice as much per distance. Because you aren't going to brake on the same part of the disc every time, it still spreads it out randomly and the wear remains constant. The one factor that changes is that your increased stopping ability may lead to driving and stopping faster, which will cause more wear no matter what pads you used.

Something is giving way to the fact that you can stop better. (and likely use that fact to your advantage if you put better brakes on your bike)
I'm going to agree to disagree with you.

For one, increased tire wear.

Bob, how many miles do you have on your bike? It seems to new to wear out a rotor that quickly.

It has nothing to do with stopping "faster" or "slower." Dragging your brake until you gradually stop takes the same force as stopping sooner according to Newton's laws except that you get to take advantage of more road, wind, and rotational friction when you take your time/distance. When comparing one pad to another you can apply more force to the inferior pad to stop just as soon but that is because it requires more to reach the same amount of friction on the disc. You see? The only extra force needed was from your hand. The same amount of surface drag (friction) on the disc was required to stop.

I'm not quite there yet, but getting there. ~16k miles with 4.3ishmm on the front rotor. I was hoping to have a solution in place for when I got there, if there was one better than ordering OEM from the standard suppliers. If it is just expensive, well, I guess I should start saving.

You have put quite a few miles on your bike. I have 18,ooo on mine and the rotors are still within spec.
Do you travel down dusty roads? Sand and dirt can contribute to wear.

Oy, got the call from my local shop letting me know my front rotor needs to be replaced--$300+ for OEM, $200+ for EBC. Anyone know if one or the other is a better product? I don't mind spending extra for OEM if it's better, gotta make the decision on Tuesday.

how many miles on that rotor?

I am curious about you folks still using stock pads having that many miles. I am at 3,000 miles on my stock pads, and just went in for a check up the other day and the shop told me absolutely must get new brakes asap as they are almost entirely worn down.

brake rotors or brake pads? have you asked the shop what the measurements are that they are concerned about?

Just the pads are low. They said the pads need replaced and mentioned how thick the pads are but I forgot the measurement they said. I was just wondering if needing pads this early (3,800 miles) is a problem of if the people saying 12k on stock pads meant stock rotors.

Engine braking meaning decelerating and downshifting. Easier on brakes because you don't need to use them as much or as hard like if you just pulled the clutch in and grabbed the brakes. Same goes for a car with a standard transmission. I just turned 7k and still have at least 40-50% left on my stock pads.

Craig AKA 2WheelGuy said that he has never had to replace a rotor when I recently asked this same question. Of course, he races and his use is distributed across multiple bikes, so that may have something to do with it.

that's a lot of miles.

ask the dealer what the rotor thickness is to make sure you're getting close to the minimum thickness allowed in the manual.

pads seem to go quickly on some bikes, but usually due to a riding style of leaving the rear brake partially engaged when they ride, but from what I've read on this forum, rotors seem to enjoy a long life. Exactly how long depends on how they are used.

have you changed pads prior and did you use stock or aftermarket? sometimes aftermarket pads can be harsher on rotors and lead to accelerated wear at the expense of rotor life.

Dealer said it was beyond spec for servicing.

I'm on my third front pad, just installed it about 2,500 miles ago. I was using factory pads until then, but the newest pad is an EBC.

27k is pretty good from a stock rotor, as I imagine you're pretty hard on the brakes?

No feedback on which is better, but there are used rotors on ebay for like $40, if you want to consider that option.

cool... make sure to ask for thickness measurements before you buy and if the disk is warped.

I know other people that have bought used front disks off ebay and have good results.

Changed pads at 12K. Rotors are still fine. Did change the brake lines to the SS Sielded. I have found that stopping power is improved and effort is less. Been hanging out with the racing types too long. Brake lines were an $80 mod installed. Money well spent.

I can source OEM rotors for $150 shipped as a service to forum members. I refuse to let people pay nearly $300 for them or over $200 for the ebc's

With some rotors I see they can warp if abused. 99.5% of ninja owners do not ride hard enough to do this (I don't care how spirited you think your riding is). I see the outer plating chipping off as a common occurrence. I would stick with Spooh's assessment and say the OEM rotor under normal operating conditions should last at least 3 sets of pads. Or roughly 25k miles.

The newgen went to the newer pedal rotor design. I don't know if the pregen will fit at the hub or not (or if the pads would be aligned properly)..... I personally wouldn't, but if it did work I don't see a problem with it. Just make sure before you buy. Also, if you buy from ebay, there is a greater possibility of getting a warped, or damaged, rotor. I'm not saying you will, just be aware of the additional risk.

Rotors are different sizes as well, the new-gens are 20mm larger. (Don't test me on what their actual sizes are, I forget whether they went from 240 - 260 or 260 - 280 )
