1200gs rear disc pads

[VAL. H.]

Hi guys,
I need replacment rear disc pads, 10'000 mls and there knackerd.

I don't want to put standered ones back in untill I've read what you guys think about other makes.

I was never happy with the lack of feel from the OE pads and wondered if it's possible to get sintered pads for the 1200 and wether they make the difference with the ABS break system.
Also who other than EBC make them. I went off EBC pads some years ago and usualy buy Carbon Lorain pads but I don't think they make them for the 1200 yet.

Any sugestions?

Me too, 12000 miles service and rear pads about 1mm from the metal. Dealer replaced them with BMW again. I never use the rear pedal so all the use of the rear brake is down to the linking of the brakes!!!

I will keep a close eye on the wear rate on this second set of pads.

I feel that the wet weather performance is poor on the standard BMUU pads especially after riding for a while without using them. Never noticed it before I bought the 1200GS.

I too would be interested to hear about the peformance of non standard BMUU parts.

You did well. Mine were back to the plates at 4,500. The replacement EBC organic pads are looking pretty worn with 5,000 on them. Stop start town work does them in. I think the linked brake system applies too much rear brake as the fronts look new with 9,500 miles on them.

The front pads are simply much harder than the rear ones. I used to get 5000 miles from EBC rear pads, whereas the front ones were still going strong after 27,000 miles.
