<div style="color:black;font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Imo...@ 43k miles the rotors should not be down to 3.7.<br>
<br>
Sounds like someone used sintered metallic pads that are very aggressive material for stronger stopping, but this leads to much more rotor wear. Very typical..<br>
<br>
Unless you are a stickler for originality I'd go with a top name brand rotor maker that can offer you the right pads for their rotor for a perfect match. <br>
<br>
Sorry I can't recommend a aftermarket rotor maker w/pads as you have Brembo F08 calipers and I have earlier ATE calipers. <br>
<br>
I'd call Bud Provin who has 30+ yrs Airhead experience. (802) 483-2460<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi All,<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I have an `88 R100 with dual front disks and gave the brakes a safety <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">check today.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Pads were fine but the disks were under spec, 3.7mm. Clymer says they <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">should not be less than 4mm.<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">My questions are:<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">1. Does that sound like normal wear for 43k miles? (I know "depends", <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">but generally?)<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2. What is the thickness of a new replacement disk? (just curious, <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">outer edge of old disk reads 4.2mm)<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">3. How soon should I plan on replacing the disks? (and I assume new <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">pads at same time.)<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">thanks,<br>
