[QUOTE="moots, post: 500768, member: 219"] 1. How do I know the which side (front or rear) that need change? [COLOR=red]- most likely the front as the fronts will wear out first[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]- remove the LH front wheel,turn the wheel to the right and you will see the brake pad and[/COLOR] [COLOR=red]the pad wear sensor thru the peep hole at the back of the brake caliper.[/COLOR] 2. How do I know whether is the sensor itself need replacement or the brake pad (sensor about RM38) [COLOR=red]- the sensors are normally replaced together with the pads.so if the light is now on,the pads [/COLOR] [COLOR=red]are worn.buy the sensor together as it is relatively cheap.[/COLOR] 3. What will be a typical brand of brake pad good enough for normal ride? One posting before he change the front brake pad for RM370. Not sure what brand. [COLOR=red]- Coincidently I replaced my front pads yesterday.the previous worn pads were TEXTAR and [/COLOR] [COLOR=red]they wear out ok.i got replacement TEXTAR as well.RM150 for the set at Bav Auto.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
