[Honda-C70] Re: rear brake question

 

thanks for the replies. i will check the arrow alignment when it cools down tonight. when i apply the rear brake, and accelerate, it sounds like a automobile when a brake job is needed. stooping is not bad, i guess. it hard for me to compare becuase i have never rode another c70.

If it makes you feel any better, I've got 7K & the previous owner NEVER changed the pads, or at least the front pads...Bike still brakes but obviously my stopping distance is increased.
