How Often Should Motorcycle Drum Brake Pads Be Replaced?
1 Answers
Motorcycle drum brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Factors affecting brake pad replacement: It mainly depends on the vehicle's driving conditions, the frequency and force with which the driver presses the brake pedal. Some brake pads have larger metal particles, and a brief burnt smell may occur when these metal particles are being worn down. Brake pad wear: Vehicles frequently driven in urban areas will experience faster brake pad wear compared to those mainly driven on highways. This is because city driving involves frequent stops and starts, resulting in more brake usage. Heavier vehicles also have greater brake pad wear. When decelerating at the same speed, heavier vehicles have greater inertia, requiring more friction force from the brake pads, leading to increased wear.
