@dude i've just checked, and i put a rear Pro-Lite on in Nov.11, BUT i've been using sintered Galfer pads as well that work very well but have pretty much eaten the disc.That's not saying a softer pad, especially EBC, wouldn't last much much longer.

One guy is a well know competitive rider here who rides against the likes of Adrian Archibald and owns his own workshop. @ DudeI have that EBC disc on the back with standard EBC pads. Threw the same combo on my Bandit 1200 as well.[size=78%]No problems to report so far.[/size]
Would you know what sort of mileage or time you've got out of the ebc disc packie?
@packie, my rear caliper's absolutely fine, but i had major juddering problems on the front for ages that totally baffled me so i had a tendency to use the rear way more than i should of.Combine my weight and the bike's, and sintered pads dragging on the discs trying to stop and you end up with a quickly worn disc.It's no big surprise at all, and there's no hidden problems that i don't know about.It's still working fine now, but it won't be long before i'll be looking for a new one, and i'll be using softer pads next time.The juddering at the front turned out to be a faulty braided brake line.
I've got the same Galfer pads on the front, with wavy Kagizume discs, and they've barely scratched them, and work very well too.
hi his dudeness i,v got a new rear disc here cost me £50 if you are still looking for one i,m in manchester
There are loads of other Yamahas that used the exact same disc as rear brakes; I guess it depends on whether you want to take a risk buying a 2nd hand item.
