Dave P Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 What is the minimum on front pads (1100RT)? looks like I'm a little over 1/16". Thanks! Dave Link to comment
dirtrider Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Morning Dave BMW 1100RT spec is: to wear indicator. Problem is: if you have aftermarket pads then all bets are off. Your 1/16" is about .0625"so you are getting mighty thin. My 1150 manual gives min of 1mm or (.0394) so that would be a good very minimum spec. Link to comment
Dave P Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Dirt- thanks for the note. Only owned the bike since last June, haven't put pads in it yet. From photos of new pads I've seen they look kinda thin right from the start new. I was kinda alarmed when I pulled my front wheel for a tire change last weekend, they looked REALLY thin, guess I'm comparing them to what my airhead (and all the cars I've owned)gets for new pads- 1/4 plus thickness. I think I'll leave them for now, do the brakes later in the year. Any recommendation on front pads? Dave Link to comment
