Hi All,
Looking for some advice from the mechanically minded, please...
In October I decided to upgrade my brake pads - installed a set of Ferodo sintered. I really liked them, I felt the initial bite was better and had better feedback from the front of the bike.
In November my bike went for its 10,000km service - dealer didn't find anything remiss with the brakes.
Since then I've done another 1,700km so all told probably 2000km on the pads.
Today I noticed a griding from the front during braking, got home and took off the brake calipers.
The outer pad of the left hand caliper (viewed from riding position) was worn down to the metal - the others are virtually perfect.
I imagine that the caliper pistons got stuck pushing the pad against the disk - has this happened to anyone else on the MT-07?
Are there any early warning symptoms - I honestly noticed nothing wrong with the brakes until today?
I sprayed out the calipers with brake cleaner, the rubbed a touch of anti-seize around the outside of the pistons today - is there something else I can do to prevent this happening again?
Is it possible it was a dud brake pad?
etc
Thank you for input!
