With 43,000+km on my Wee now I decided I would replace the brake pads.
I've been monitoring them since my mechanic said they had about 2,000km of wear left in them, that was at 30,000km on the speedo.
I replaced the rear pads even though they would make at least another 1000km before reaching the wear limit groove.
I pulled the front right hand pads out and they are barely half worn compared to the new ones, so I put in the new ones thinking the left hand side may be worn more; or worn unevenly.
Upon removing the left hand pads I found they were as good as the right hand ones.
I put them back in, pulled out the right hand side again and put the old ones back in there too.
Going by current wear the front pads should make it to 80,000km.
During routine servicing I will continue to monitor the wear rate.
I'm really impressed with the OEM parts so far.
The chain and sprockets are original too, looking to replace them at 50,000km but if the rear sprocket is anything to go by they may well go beyond the 50k mark by some good distance.
I love my Wee-Strom, it cost me so much less to run and maintain than my previous BMW 1150GS did. :thumbup:
