R3 Brakes pads due?

[technoguppy]

Anyone with a 2020 or newer Rocket 3 changed their brakes yet?

I'm coming up on 40,000km (25,000miles) and with another long trip in a few weeks I'm just curious what others are seeing with respect to their brakes?

I truly get that it depends on the rider, the riding style, the roads, the usage, etc..

Not looking for anything other than...

1 - Changed mine FRONT/REAR at XX,XXX km because they were due (or advised to change them).
OR
2 - I've got XX,XXX km on my Rocket 3 and my brakes are fine.

I am looking for a point of reference, not a definitive answer. As previously stated, I get that there are a lot of factors and it really depends...

Thanks in advance...

if you have xx,xxx on your brakes then you need to replace them

I've got 18K km and haven't even thought about pads, yet.
Perhaps I should take a look at them before I hear the scrape. She is a heavy girl, after all.

I've got ~21k miles on my fronts and they look like they've got a fair amount more life left before they reach the end of the grooves. I'm sure it makes a big difference that I have the quick shifter and use it religiously on down shifting (love the sound with my Werkes pipes). I often only apply the brakes at less than ~15mph.

1) I changed the rear brakes at 13,157 miles (could have gone more- don't remember). The fronts still have grooves, but just barely at about 22,000.

65,000 miles on the 2020GT. I have changed the rear brakes due to almost zero pads left two times and once on the front. Sorry I am not a good record keeper so I dont know the mileage. To be clear: on third set rear, second set front.

2020 GT, changed the pads at about 30,000km, they were pretty low, but still had life in them, but figured while i'm doing the back might as well do the front at the same time, i would estimate that they were down to about 3/4 used up. Just make sure you release the top of the brake reservoirs before compressing the pistons, maybe pull some oil out of them, to give space for the so the oil from compressing the pistons has somewhere to go

Anybody replacing with non-Brembo pads? I picked up some pads at my dealership for when I do need to replace and they were EXPENSIVE! Curious if people are using other pads or not.

Well, careful now, you're going beyond the restrictions ...

It does not matter how many XXXXX miles you’ve got. They either need replacing due to wear or they are fine. What another rider gets is not relevant to your pads.
