I use my rear brake a lot more than my front, anyway it's time to change the pad as it's started squeeking. Can anyone supply me with a part number and the best location, other than the stealership, to pick one up at? Thanks in advance, I'll take pictures so it can be added to the maintence section.
I can't supply you with a part number, but try to exercise that front brake a little more. It has more stopping power by far.

Thanks for not awnsering my question. I didn't ask for riding tips, the rear brake is perfered when I know I am coming up to a stop so I can work the throttle for a rev-match downshift in-case I need power on tap for a quick getaway in a hairy situation or decide to blow a stop because there is no traffic around (read: country roads on open flats were you can see someone coming from a mile or more away.

WOAH!!!
A little hostile, aren't we?
69100-0BE00 is what I found
Oh... That's based on http://www.crotchrocket.com/fiche_select.asp
I'm no expert (or riding veteran for that matter), but I only use the rear brake in a manouvering capacity, to avoid "loading" the squishy stock forks. The rear end gets squirrely (sp?) if you rely on the rear brake for stopping--especially if you're in a hurry.
I don't avoid the front brake I just exercise discipline on it's use.
Ok.. no need to be hostile.. he's just trying help you out... by using the rear brake more than the front, you're flying in the face of decades of conventional motorcycle wisdom. Eeesh.. but I'm fairly certain An's post is correct. You could try to find stuff online at ronayers or chapparral or newenough or oneidasuzuki...
