I have a stack of shatterd rear rotors and every one of them are from running hh pads on tha rear...stock honda pads dont retain heat like the hh pads do. hh pads are much harder than stock,but hh pads will last alot longer than stock.geuss it just depends on tha rider.....haha ...I ride tha shiot out of my HB so thats my problem,but I cant seem to take my finger off tha handbrake ,so until I get my left middle finger to listen then Ima keep running these stock pads...

Re: Cracking rotors????????

Turn your idle down so you dont have to beat up the brake so bad
