    Now I'm gonna tell you about an accident and I don't want to hear "Act of God".

    So Jim, how did you decide if you had ground down the brake pad enough. Trial and error? And part two of the question; should I start with 1/2 of the brake pad touching the rotor and ride it on the track and go from there? I'm going to do this to my Ninja 250. Thanks for your input.

    Didn't go through any trial and error. I beveled half of it with the bench grinder. You may be able to do more on your ninja 250 due the weight and that your speeds are much lower.
