I put a new set on the front wheels of my MP3 500 and they are already down to the nubs. Never had pads wear that fast. Maybe it is because I now do much more in town riding than I used to?

Malossi Sintered Brake Pads are the ones that wore out in 6 months. I just purchased the Malossi Racing Brake Pads to try.

yeah racing pads don't last very long, they are made to wear fast but have great stopping power.
