P500 Brake Question

[futzin]

Do the P500 brakes have wear indicators?

Im not sure on newer models? But I do recall not seeing them on my 15’ P5

You were just in some nasty clay, might want to get in there good with a power washer and clean it out real good. All it takes is a tiny pebble or grit to cause them to sqeek

A pressure washing did make it better, but still there. When I get time I'll pull the wheels.

The squeaking occurs when leaning or turning and stops when brakes applied . . .

Deff sounds like something is binding in there if your getting it that way.

Hey futzin, my 2017 P500 had wear squeakers on them. Some photos in link.

Pulled the wheels. Only 1/16th or so of pad left . . .

Did u see indicators? If so, where they touching?

Can't see any, but I could be looking right at them and not know it!

I think they're usually on the backside pad.

My rear brake started making a grinding noise after the July ride. I can't see how much of the pads are left but the back side of the rotor is groved some, so I think I waited a little too long. I'll have to do at least the rear before the next ride.

It is.

Anyone wanna recommend a pad they like?

You shouldn't have let me drive it!

A) The p500 brakes like to get Tennessee mud in them and squeel.
It's a TN mud thing I think, doesn't happen with Ohio mud.
Once a year (in preparation for the Takeover) I pull the pads and clean the calipers, grease the pins and put it all back together.
The squeeling drives me crazy, you would think honda could do better.

B) l would stick with the stock pads.
But then, I would.
They change the pad material formulation every now and then.
Look at the part number for the current p520 (i didn't bother to look up the latest).
But I'm still on the original pads for my 2018 p500, benefit of engine braking.
