Well I was feeling better than my usual sore self today so I took the Busa out for a spin. I put on about 60 miles today, rolling past the 12k mark on the ODO. My tire pressure sensor started flashing at me that the front was -5 PSI from the target setting. I was only a few block from home so I rode back to check for a nail.
As I was inspecting the tire for holes I noticed that the brakes are dragging badly almost half of the wheel rotation. It's dragging bad enough I can't spin the wheel one full rotation no matter how hard I push. The rotor is visibly warped on the right disc.
These are factory rotors, with EBC HH pads. I have had the EBC pads on since just after my first track day. I have put over 8k miles on the pads. I expected a few more miles from the OEM rotors. I'm thinking that the EBC pads produce more friction, which means more heat, and the rotors don't deal with it very well.
I guess I will be looking for a new set of rotors in the next week or two so I can get the Busa ready for the trip to Corbin.
