Frequently Asked Questions
How often should motorcycle brake pads be replaced?
Motorcycle brake pads typically need replacing every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometres, but this depends heavily on riding habits, bike type, and whether you're riding in urban or rural conditions. Aggressive braking, heavy loads, and regular stop-start riding will wear pads out faster. You should inspect your brake pads regularly—especially before long rides—and replace them when they’re close to the wear indicators or under 2–3mm thick. Squeaking, vibration or a spongy feel at the lever are all signs it’s time to replace them.
What are the symptoms of bad motorcycle brakes?
Worn or failing brakes can cause a range of symptoms including squealing or grinding noises, reduced stopping power, vibration when braking, or a soft brake lever feel. You may also notice the bike pulling to one side when braking or longer stopping distances. These issues can be caused by worn brake pads, warped rotors, low fluid levels or air in the brake lines. It's best to have any brake-related issues checked immediately, as they directly impact rider safety.
How do I check the condition of my motorcycle brakes?
To check your brakes, inspect the brake pads for thickness and wear, look for fluid leaks around the calipers and master cylinder, and test the lever or pedal for firmness. You should also examine the brake discs (rotors) for warping, grooves or excessive wear. Brake fluid should be clear and within the recommended level. If anything looks or feels off—or you’re unsure—it’s best to have a qualified mechanic assess the system for peace of mind.
