2016 1200 GS Brake Pads

[scorp888]

Anyone found a good source of them, as £75 + VAT from the main dealer seems to imply they are gold plated!



Thanks in advance.

Got my 2017 GSA rear Brembo brake pads (brand new) from Motorworks.co.uk

Dealer wanted about £75

I paid £ 27.13 plus £4 delivery for Part Code BRA70335

Fitted and doing their job perfectly

EBC rear pads part no FA209/2HH . Easy to fit bought from eBay.

or

can you wrangle a discount at the main stealer?
TBH the after-market are not much cheaper than the main stealer!
- again - not a significant saving...
Just put EBC ones in my K1200RS...
There's some really cheap ones on ebay too - but from manufacturer's I have never heard of - probably false economy (i wouldn't risk it!!!)

If you cant afford £30 for some Brembo pads.... WTF?

I do hear told, that Steptoe of this here Parrish does sell said items at a very reasonable cost.

How long are you getting from pads? My GS is far too new to need pads. On my K1200RS, they lasted util 17000 miles, and then 36000 miles... so around 17000-19000 miles
£70 every 17000 miles seems pretty economical???

You'll be lucky to get 10k out of rear pads, in my experience.

You have to be careful when considering EBS HH pads, good as they are. I found them thicker than the OEM pads and this can lead to brake binding from new. Brembo pads all the way...

Wow - I don;t think I ever changed rear pads on any Beemer I owned! K1100RS, 48000 miles on original rear pads, K1200RS still on original rears at almost 40k, and R1200RS still on original pads (not got to first 600 service yet )

The GS is harder on rear pads, than other models, on my R for example, I used to change front/rear at roughly same time/wear level.

I reckoned on two pairs of rear pads to one front set.

+1 also buy my discs from motorworks about half the cost that a dealer would charge. It will be interesting to see who will sell pads for the hayes calipers fitted to the new 1250 bikes?!

Always used EBC on the BMW's and never had n issue with the fitting.

12,000 for me, woohoo

Although they had pad left, they did need changing in my opinion. But 12,000 miles is good enough for me on a rear pad

Mine are still going strong after 25,000klms although I see this comment a lot. not sure why my experience is different

Because you're "special" in a nice way.

BMW and Motorworks, I'd guess. Plus a load of others fairly quickly.

Is that to do with the automatic front/rear braking distribution perhaps?

Probably, it does seem that the rear brake wear is more prevalent on the GS than on other models.
