    JTC on the forum had some rotors from a 6 Gen and if the Parts fiche is correct, it shows 1998-2005, they should fit the 5 Gen. Look in the classified section.

    The guy I got my seargent seat from who is the only person in my area that I know that has a vfr anyways we bs sometimes about are bikes and I remembered he told me he did a front end cbrf4(I think....) swap, so it just popped into my head and whala daddy got some practicaly brand new rotors with no lip for $50, now I need to stop being birdseed (sorry my I.Q is not 150 like soooome people :biggrin:) and do all the up-keep maintenance on her, cause this whole situation is my fault because I was more worried about the looks and mods then doing some spring cleaning on her

    yeah I think it's time to take a break, so whats the best way to clean rotors with brake cleaner? How often do I need to rotate them, clean them and replace pads? mile wise

    Brake pads have a wear indicator and you should check them periodically. Your rotors have a minimum width measurement that can be found in the Honda service manual, maybe even the owners manual, I'm not 100% positive on that though. As far as how many miles between changing pads, it's kind of like tires, it depends on the pad quality, how easy or hard you ride and the environment you ride in.

    The best thing to do is check your pads for wear and replace them when they get close to or to the wear indicator. You should also check your rotors when replacing your pads, just to make sure they're not getting too work out or scored.

    Randy got over 100k miles I doubt it he ever replace the rotor. As for pad like Ootvs said it is all depend on how you ride. I said 15k +/- would be my call.
