Got a bike in the shop earlier this week that had some nasty rear brakes. Not only did it eat through the pads and half way through the metal and into the rotors but the caliper was on the verge of trashing.

Keep an eye out on brake pad wear going into the new season. A lot of guys parked their bikes months ago and never got the much needed maintenance done that was due last year.

stay safe out there people.

It was on a TL1000R . The fronts actually were fine. Took a table vice to push the piston back in.

Wow. I don't use my rear brake enough to wear it down.
