Couldn't believe my eyes at Squires last Thursday, saw a TC RT fitted with red backed Brembo front brake pads.
Current wear rate on disc would suggest wear limit by 60 - 70 K.
Have experienced OEM v's EBC on a 2007 model, my first RT....Tried some (half the price) EBC HH pads, they were useless, no initial bite or feeling, chucked them away & got some OEM ones again....
I have serviced brakes on countless vehicles in my life, and can say that more than any other brake pad I've used, the EBC HH's do have a "break in period".
This is giving a service limit for rear disc as 50K.
On both the TC's front & rear brake pad wear has been & is acceptable. Changed F&R once in over 36K miles on the 2010 model and still on the originals at 17K on the 2012 bike.I intend to keep the 2012 TC, will be interesting to see how long they last with my current maintenance regime.
My 2012 RT is due a brake fluid change this year, have decided to change the front pads prior to having this done.The pads have now done 20,000 miles, they are still serviceable but near the wear limit, will run them until the service is due at 21,500 miles.What kind of mileage have you been getting out of the front BMW OEM pads.
Changed mine from OEM to EBC at just short of 19k.
Tried some (half the price) EBC HH pads, they were useless, no initial bite or feeling, chucked them away & got some OEM ones again.
On this occasion, I'll be "stopping" with BMW OEM pads.
