I clean the rotors from time to time by wiping them with a cloth and brake parts cleaner.
Please pardon my confusion but I do not understand what you are saying here. Are you saying that my pads are likely stock and that they are "aggressive metallic stock pads" or are my pads an exception to this? Sorry, I just do not follow what you are saying. I hope you will clarify as your input is valued. Thanks.Went out and looked at the wife’s Vic that has stock pads and they too are grey.
On most of my bikes the aggressive metallic stock pads have a copper cast to them. These are an exception.
Now that is a darn good idea. Thanks, Indy.Well, I suppose you could just swap pads with the wife bike. Clean the rotor before and after that test.

I would not do that. The pads tend to form to any irregularities on the surface of the rotors. If you swap the pads the surfaces won't match.Now that is a darn good idea. Thanks, Indy.
Good point. It could reduce performance much like when people swap pads on cars without fresh rotors it takes time to break in.I would not do that. The pads tend to form to any irregularities on the surface of the rotors. If you swap the pads the surfaces won't match.
