Yes You realize the brakes are for slowing down, I do not do that too often which is evident when you look at my rear tyre wear
Problem on some early bikes3 bikes on our tour of Germany with LC's had to have their rear pads replaced at around 4K And at the time a discussion with the workshop doing the replacement confirmed that they had done quite a few bikes at very low kms

I commute every day from n/Subs to Woodstock, 25km one way. I got 10 000km from the back brakes. I had a steering oscillation problem from 2000km and at 14 000km BMW did a buy back deal for me and I got a brand new bike, this time with steering damper and cruise control. I got the new bike in August last year. New bike has 6000km on the clock and so far no brake pad issues I aware of. I don't use my back brakes when commuting, so to me 10 000kn is kak mileage for back brakes!

Julle klink net soos BMW/handelaar! My 2004 GS het my 30 000 km gegee- my "riding style" het nie verander nie.

My 2004 GS het my 30 000 km gegee- my "riding style" het nie verander nie.Maar!My 09 en my vrou se 09 het nie sommer verder as 15000km op agterbrieke gegaan nie.My 14 is nou op 10000km (tydens diens reken hulle nog 4000km) en my vrou se 14 op 18000km en ons het ook nie rystyl verander nie.Het die 04 al linked braking gehad?
Ek glo nie die 2004 het "linked braking" gehad nie. Dit is wat my betref irrelevant. My verwagting is dat die kalibrasie van die "brake force distribution front to rear" van so n aard is dat ek nie met n agter rem slytasie probleem sit nie.
Vir my is dit normaal as die '''pads'' elke 15 000 km's, of meer, vervang moet word. My agter remme het ongeveer 50 % oor op 12 500 km's, wat ek nie dink sleg is nie?Normale slytasie?
