Well I thought I would share this as a bit of a exercise.
My dealer back in March told me that by the time my GSA will reach 12k mile service, “it will be screaming” for a new set of rear pads. So here we are. Since I have a day of work, I decided I would service K&N air filter a clean before bike goes in for a service and would give a bike once over.
While filter drying after being washed, I pulled out new pads I purchased a few weeks back from a said dealer at a whopping discounted price of £66, ready to install them. To my surprise, well you lot can tell me and be a judge here.......
Bike mileage and riding mode I ride in 90% of the time.
New pads still in the packet....
Old pads I pulled out....
Gave them a little brush down and created out the grooves....
Now in my humble opinion, these will last me another 6k miles if not longer. It is recommended to change them when groves are no longer present, and these pads are only ⅔ of the way worn.
