just a quick question - the front discs on our Fazer 600 (15,500 miles) for all intents and purposes look brand new.
The bike hasn't been ridden hard, the pads are original and hardly worn and the brakes work perfectly.
BUT, when I put my digital vernier caliper on them today they both measured (within 0.05mm) 4mm thick. Checking in my Haynes manual, it lists the disc thickness as 5mm New with a minimum service limit of 4.5mm.
The rear disc is 4.97mm thick, with the same 5mm new, 4.5mm minimum limits listed in the Haynes.
I've never ever had a set of discs wear out on me in 45 years of riding (with a number of my bikes reaching +70k miles) and my FJ 12 discs were still perfectly in spec after 75k miles.
Is the info in the Haynes manual wrong? Or do I have a real problem with the front discs on the 600 ?
