#100502 underdog2003 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 59 Can you analyze my rear brake pads/rotor? (pics) 1 Month ago   I was looking at my rear pads today and they look awful thin for me, but I'm not sure how thin is too thin for motorcycles. Also, how does my rotor look? I don't have any noise coming from them when I brake or ride, but they just look pretty thin to me. Also, are brake pads on scooters like cars in the sense that they start to squeal when they need to be replaced? Thanks. By the way, I have a 2001 Road Star.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/07/15 00:25 By underdog2003.

Just keep an eye on them.

I have a low mileage '01, and just inspected my pads the other day... there was a lot of deep slot left in the pads telling me they had lots of life left in them still. Look for the slots.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #100600 Clifford (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 380 Re:Can you analyze my rear brake pads/rotor?

Mileage was 36,600.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #100603 underdog2003 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 59 Re:Can you analyze my rear brake pads/rotor?

The service manual says 0.5mm or 0.02in. I changed mine when I put new tires on the ones I have now don't dust like the OEM ones did.   Logged     Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
