You need to check your brake system out especially check for rear brake drag. Check that the rear calliper is not over heating. Try it after a short ride with few brake applications or put her up on the centre stand and rotate the rear wheel, it should spin fairly easily.
Mine was running around 50 degrees hotter then the front, had to overhaul the calliper.

Well problem solved after visiting metalgear,  brendale, the owner gave me 2 bigger sizes to try, free of charge just bring back the ones that I don't use. And free replacement of the right ones. THANKS metalgear. Will change tomorrow after checking caliper  :like :like

NTRebel:
My pads were put on by my local bike mechanic so everything was checked before I picked up the bike when he looked at the backing plates after the 1500Ks he said it looked like the pad material hadn't been adhered to the backing plate properly and had fallen off.

Draco (Heartbreak Kid):
Thanks will check that also and put up some pics

I too have been using metal gear for years on the 1100.

On the (2002/03) bike, the front pads are much thinner than the rear, however the front pads do fit in the rear brakes.
