err... brakes? help?
we're currently in northern india, and have worn right through our rear brake pads on our 650 v strom, much faster than expected. we're now metal on metal, just shy of 1000km from mumbai - which we need to get to fairly quickly to meet a boat. i'd really appreciate a bit of advice on the below...
firstly - can we ride to mumbai safely? top speed in india has been 110km/hr - i assume that this must be reduced? or do we need to stop riding and get new pads before we head any further?
is it likely that we'll be able to grab a new set of pads en route? in mumbai?
from mumbai we're going to be shipping to dubai - i assume that it will be easier to either buy pads there, or to have them sent over to dubai, rather than getting them though customs here? is anyone able to recommend a shop in either city that might be able to get some in?
i do have a spare front set still- i've assumed that there is no bodger fix with these?
if we do ride to mumbai before getting a new set (1000km) should we then also look at grabbing a new rear disc?
many thanks from the road for any help provided
