Thank Ian The mileage seems dubious as I can't believe that chain would be worn and the rear pads close to minimum at 6,000miles!!
Agree - that seems unlikely unless the rider is using the rear brake as a footrest! Have a similar mileage 2015 and rears still have 70% left.
Is it an ABS? From experience ABS models are heavier on the rear brakes. A lot of the R prefix bikes were first registered by Honda UK. Possibly ex Ron Haslam? (not that it matters).
I bought my 09 last year, one owner bike with 3k miles on. Chain was shot and sprocket wasn't great, mainly down to o/ring splits. On nearly 7k miles now, MOT last week and existing pads discs are spot on.
Sold my race bike recently.... Done 10k on the road and two seasons and still had oem pads in the rear ha ha.... But as said, if abs doesn't it do it auto I.e duel breaking??
Thanks for the responses. Yes the bike is an ex Honda Ron Haslam bike which was sold to the second owner with around 300miles when it was 12 months old. The second owner has used it in winter and was caked with salt which caused the corrosion and premature ageing of the bike!! Still no explanation regarding the premature west of the rear brake pads!! Air filter was removed and looked very clean, in line with the 6,000miles on the clocks
Ron Haslem school may have disconnected the clocks,they put race fairings on, then put back to road later,,maybe done another 5000 before.
