brake pad mileage
« on: January 29, 2017, 08:36:55 PM »
so I know peoples pads wear out at different times for the front and the rear but I ..... and maybe some of you .... change both set of pads at the same time so what is the average for your pads at change over.

funnily enough my rear pads wear out much faster than my fronts.

My last set of pads lasted about 32,000km but nowhere near the 60,000km from previous OEM ones. A change in conditions being the main difference.

Both front and rear pads changed at the same time as recommended in the manual for the combined brakes.

How did you get 60K kms on the OEMs?

What was the main difference in conditions?

Lots of Km with very little braking and I now ride more two up and more trailer usage. Even though we can still ride 300km from here and rarely touch the brakes.

Two sets of pads each had two 8000km (Adelaide to Port Hedland/Karratha) return trips on mainly open road and toss in a couple 3200km return trips from Karratha to Perth and the pad km life extends compared to one who rides constantly in a city or hills area.

are you still using Metalgear for the break pads or have you changed brands?

I have never used Metalgear Pads.

The bike still had the original when sold pads in it when I first bought it. A cheap aftermarket set went in at about 80,000 but they were noisy so I went back to OEM after about at about 100,000km an they were replaced at 164,000 with Goldfren Ceramic pads which were just changed at 197,300km back to OEM. Bike is now on it's 5th set of pads.

I replaced front pads and disks at around 140.000... still meat on the front pads at 179,000.
Replaced rear pads at same time, but rear pads are now well worn due to rear disk wear.
Will replace rear disk and pads very shortly.
