My bike went in today for an annual service at 15 000km. I got a call to say that the back and front break pads need replacing. The cost is horrific, front pads R2573.96(2 sets) and the back R1319.00. Total R3893.93. This is crazy! I also question why do I need to replace both front and back after only 15 000km! My last GS non LC , the front lasted 25000km and back 30000km! I am going to price pads at Trac Mac. My bike is out of its 2 year warranty in a few months so not worried re any of the warranties. I do daily commuting of 50km to work and back in peak hour traffic on the N1. If anything they should last longer as there is minimal braking at high speeds. 95% of my bike riding is in peak hour traffic. What distances have you guys that have done break pad changes got? Maybe my disks are eating my pads for some reason. Let me know.
