Depends on the walmart. ;-) Some do, some don't.

In addition to walmart, most every automotive supply carries it.

Here's the list of avail dealers from Seafoam's website... Sea Foam | Where Can I Buy Sea Foam Products?.

as far as your brake go, check to see if your rotors are straight I used the be a pedal bicycle mechanic and I specialized in the gears, brakes both hydraulic and rim, the main cause of inconsistent or jerky braking was if the rotors are bent. Also it wouldn't hurt to replace your brake fluid and clean your calipers; those two things will help with your braking performance.

I actually ordered pads before looking too closely at them and as it turns out... I looked at the pads and they seemed fine. I also visually inspected the rotors and they seem ok too. I may change out the fluid and give the calipers a good scrubbing and hopefully that will help. If not, I guess I will have to hit up ebay for some rotors. What does an average motorcycle mechanic charge for a rotor job?

Still trying to find time to get seafoam... There is an auto parts store down the street but I always forget to stop by there.

Too much! At $85-95+ per shop hr, plus rebuild parts, its going to be cost-prohibitive...that is, unless you have money to burn. ;-) All joking aside tho, if you wouldn't feel comfortable rebuilding them yourself, that cost could be worth it. (worth it in peace of mind, not actual value. ;-)

I personally would not tackle that myself, other things, yes, but that... nope. There are quite a few mechanics here that do work on the side, hopefully I can find one that will do it when they are off and can charge me a flat fee.
