BMW f800gs rotor
 
I have about 23k miles on my f800gs and noticed that the rear rotor is wearing uneven. Has anybody had issues with their caliper or do you think that this is just normal wear? I am on my 3rd set of rear brakes as I rode about 20k miles 2 up and about 90% paved roads, in all different conditions.

Thanks

Only 23k?!? I'm by no means an expert on such things, but this seems quite bad. I'm on 42k, and I've never had these worries. Others, yes - the front bearings get replaced quite often! I cover enough miles to get them replaced under warranty!

Perhaps others might offer more advice? ?c?

When you say "Uneven" what do you mean?


Is it wearing near the rim but not the middle, or vice versa, or do you mean one side of the disk is wearing and the other isn't?

Thanks for the input, I found a Galpher replacement in Guatemala and replaced. Regarding uneven, the rotor had grooves.
