One of the most impressive things I have found with the S10 is it’s brakes. I wasn’t expecting them to be so good when compared with my Zx14r that has PFM disks.
Yamaha have certainly used quality components there with Galfer disks and brembo master cylinders. But with the bike now approaching 20k miles it looks like the disks are rapidly wearing out. There is a pronounced lip on both the front and back disks. I’m not hard on brakes (this is the first time I’ve worn a set out) so I’m puzzled.
Is this normal at this mileage? Also, I’m minded to replace the Galfers with PFMs when the time comes (no need to worry about bobbin cleaning and the disk face can be replaced separately to the rotor if it wears out) I use SBS pads and am very happy with performance.
Any words of wisdom gratefully received
