Can anyone confirm what the OEM brake pad thickness is for the front and rear pads when new?
Edit - measured new, they are 4mm thick (pad only)
I'm just approaching 40,000 miles on my 22 RT and trying to determine if I need to change out the pads prior to leaving on an upcoming 10,000 mile ride.
The service manual indicates front pads should be changed when the pad thickness reaches the bottom of the groves cut into the pad. Rear brake pads should be changed out at 1mm pad remaining.
If I know the original pad thickness I can guage how much wear ( amount of pad) I'd require before replacement based on my riding style.
