After doing some more research, I wasn't able to find anything on the rear pads. Are you saying the rear standards have HH labeled on the back? Not seeing that in the photos above or any where else. HH looks to only apply to the front pads.

Ah, I didn't see it before but now I do. "SUMITOMO - TOYO S30R HH", good eye!

I searched far and wide, the only close documentation I could find was some reference to the brake structure on Yamaha's Japanese website, located here with google translate. At best it says it's "friction material." I guess I'm going to have to call Yamaha America Corporate :confused:.

I'm trying to compare the OEM pads to other aftermarket choices, but can't find much information on the material used. Was wondering if anyone might know exactly. I'm getting replacements soon and want to know how much I need to budget. I realize the trade-off between performance versus how much...

I see what you mean. Didn't use the good pin from the other side to see how well it aligns. I'll give that a try and determine if there are other structural misalignments.

The cylinder pin is stock, but the pegs are Pivot Pegz.

I knew I had to remove it somehow. Thankfully had a hacksaw sitting around and just got to it. I guess I bent it putting pressure on it off-road, have no idea how long it's been like that. This is first time messing with the pedals in 6 years.

Rust started appearing on my right side pedal frame mount. Got what I needed to treat the area but had to remove my pedal first––that's when the fun began. I noticed when trying to remove the pin, it wasn't moving so quickly. Tapped it with a rubber mallet, then a proper hammer, no budging...

My plan is beginning to look like what you're saying right here. Call multiple dealerships, do research on their reputations, follow up with the mechanic doing the work and evaluate from there.

That's my feeling exactly. It's such an important check that I don't want to mess it up in any way, and certainly don't want to pay out the nose for shoddy, incompetent work.

Getting these quotes has me considering just getting a set of tire irons with zip ties and doing a shoe change myself.

Welcome to the discussion!

Preparing for a long trip and almost ready to put on new tires and get some maintenance done. I can do spark plugs, air filter, oil (engine/final gear), radiator stuff pretty easily, but other things require a range of tools I don't have (plus no sheltered garage). For example, I'm considering...

That's what I think I'll be doing: this site appears to have many of the OEM colors in different aerosols/paints/pens/etc.

I was going to say what would happen if you do at some point want to remove it. I'm looking for a waterproofing fix as well, this sounds like a good solution.

Found a few resources: This site has Colour Mat Gray Metallic 3, which from this site confirms the specific spec color variant. (edit: On second check, I think this color only refers to elements like the gas tank, different plastics. Not stuff like the crankcase covers, which I'm aiming for.) I...

McGuire's Ultimate eh? This is something a bit new to me. What would be the process for something like photo 2 and 3 above?

Since starting this thread I've ignored the stains. However, coming back to it I've been thinking this would be a good option. What would you say something like that would cost? I'd imagine I could disassemble the main engine parts on the sides and take them somewhere, or do it myself? Redoing...

I gotcha. Will give it a go.

The 12v side. Will take a look at the bend right now.
