Don't use carbonne lorraine. My 1150 is on original fronts at 36000 but the 3rd set on the rear with the replacements being carbonne lorraine, I dont ride the rear brake, just use it normaly and the disc is shot that will need replacing this time wether it be crappy disc or non compatability with pads I dunno, oh and the caliper is totally free.

1200's eat rear pads compared to fronts.

The correct pads are essential. I suggest you Get them from either bmw (ouch) or motorworks or steptoe. (or for the sake of being fair, sherlocks or bins)

Bought a set of rear 1200 pads from Nippy, organic not sintered, as they don't work hard enough to warrant it and have better initial bite and feel anyway: No dramas.

worth using OEM pads if your bike is in warranty tax you'll then be in a good position for a claim on the discs when (if) something goes wrong.

Probably talking bollocks, I didnt notice this was in the 1200 section. On my 1150 theres at least 2 different calipers and various pads depending on wether its servo or not etc... Motorworks only list 3 different pads for the 1200 and it looks as if all 3 fit.
