Just got the Axxis pads installed today. Thanks Trinity. So is it necessary to "bed in" the brakes? Is there going to affect me later on. I live in BK, and there isn't a place where I can go 60mph, stop to about 10mph, then accelerate back to 60 seven to eight times in a row. If its a must, any idea where I can do this. Besides Floyd Bennett field. Too many cops.

The bed in process is not necessary if you didn't replace the rotors. But if you have an area that has clear roads and safe I would go ahead and do it.

I hope you enjoy your new pads

Yo joe, could you PM me pricing on these pads shipped for front and back? The brake dust is annoying the hell out of me. DK can you keep us updated on the brake dust after a week or so? I go thru rolls of papertowels from cleaning rims.

I bedded mine on the highway during low traffic, pulled to the shoulder to brake. Repeat. Do you NEED to bed them, no. SHOULD you bed them, yes.

Thanks for tip. Never thought about the highway. 60mph hit the hazard, slow down on the shoulder. That will work.

I concur on the "should" but not a "need". I have a nearby country road with about a 1 mile straight with no driveways, etc. Perfect for bedding in new pads.
