2019 Talon Brakes at 33,000 miles

[hondabob]

Just replaced my brake pads at 33,000 miles. Brakes last a lot longer in the Arizona desert. I was lucky to see the pads were worn out when I replaced the left rear wheel bearing. There wasn’t much left on the inboard pad. Its more difficult with the aftermarket support brackets that have to be removed. The Honda brake pads are different for each wheel. Lots of sand and stones bend the ball joint protector and score everything near the rear wheel. The aftermarket mud flaps help a lot. The decal braking is good so I’m easy on the brakes. Occasionally a big rut will blend in making it hard to see at speed so I have to brake hard then let up just before the hit. I’ve have been lucky so far and haven’t bottomed out the suspension. The brake pads are expensive at close to $400, even the aftermarket pads.

Damn Bob.
That's awesome.
I'd be lucky to get 2000 miles.

Great write up and pictures ! Realistically if we add up all of our riding buddies miles , we may never reach 33000 miles accumulatively . Hopefully we'll be good .

400.00 for pads ?? You have got to be kidding OMG

 

[JenElio]

Wow....33K miles is great!!!!
I'm lucky if I get 500 out of a set 🤦‍♂️

 

[Squeegee]

I got about 3400 out of mine. Next time use pioneer 1000 pads same thing only cheaper

There too thick, your just rubbing off the first bit until they clearance.

I'm on my 3rd set at 4400 miles, have another set waiting to go in, probably next wkd.

More material but they're cheaper......must be fuzzy math.

The Pioneer rotors are thinner with thicker pads.

And.... the 1000-6 pads are a different compound.
Thinking about ordering a set.

Do they use the same calipers?

Please do, let us know. 😎 All fours or just the fronts?

I'm on my 4th set on about 2200 miles......

My OEM pads lasted me just under 800 🤦‍♂️

If not the same they are very close since the pads fit in the saddles. I'd have to look at part numbers to verify.

Bob - I'm in AZ as well and mostly ride in MT mode (more fun to shift gears). Based on your mileage and brake wear, I'm thinking you must do the same. I'm curious to know if those who needed to replace pads after only 1,000 +/- miles, are you predominantly riding in the AT setting?

I'm at 8k miles and getting close to replacement. I'm in AT 95% of the time but 'paddle up' frequently to keep the noise down. Like Bob, most of my braking is done by the engine but using the brakes hard for 'surprises'. There are some steep, long descents in the Rockies that require braking for longer distances than I like but low gear, low range can't do it alone in those situations.

I ride predominantly in mud, sand, slop, tight woods trails w sharp turns, lots of downed trees & wildlife that jumps out in front of you like deer, bears, wolves, etc. I'd bet harder on the brakes than most.
