One of the reasons I do my own maintenance is so that parts that don't need replacing don't get replaced.34649 said:Just had my 12,000 mile service and they replaced the pads. Seems quite soon.

My R1150RS rear pads were almost entirely gone at 18K. My dealer (who I trust) said this was normal with the partially linked brakes. BTW: the pad wear was caught during my spring safety inspection at a local sportbike shop - first time I think I ever got something useful out of an inspection after >30 years of doing them!John Brase said:My 1150RS with partially linked brakes was ready for rear pads at the 18,000 mile service (18,600). They MIGHT have made to the 24,000 service interval but I doubt it. Fronts are still good at 30,000+ (and I'm not shy about using the fronts).

My information comes from the Bob's BMW Catalog. It says, "IMPORTANT NOTE about rear pads! During 2003 BMW discontinued using organic type brake pads on the REAR of all models equiped with integral ABS and switched to a sintered metal pads. A corresponding change in caliper design means the two pad types are not interchangeable."mayojuaf said:So should we use the organic pads for the 2002 R1150 RS? I just stoped bt the dealer and he had no idea of what I was talking about , He was just going for the metalics...
