As above, been told my rear pads are low.... 12k miles, is that about normal?
Anyway, doing a search for new, Nippy Normans has EBC, not the clearest selection but fleabay has same, Double HH... £25
Mine is a 2020 shiftcam, there appears to be different listings for 2019 bikes? Did the pads change around that year?
Anyway, who's using what?

Re: Time for New Brake Pads
I prefer Brembo pads (rather than buy them from BMW) as they’re OEM fitment and match the discs. For Brembo advice on the correct spec of pad for your use:

For the choice of the correct pad for your 2020RT:

Re: Time for New Brake Pads
As above, use brembo pads from non Bring More Wonger supplier. Also they are red and everyone knows red brakes are better.

Re: Time for New Brake Pads
The Brembo site does take a bit of sorting, but from the first link -
“ Of the sintered pads, the only one specifically for the rear is the SP: one of its benefits is its consistent performance both cold and hot. This is demonstrated by its friction coefficient, which stays constant, despite the fact that the temperature varies between 122°F and 752°F. ”
So, their recommended is the 07BB03SP which is available from Sportsbikeshop for £36.99 with free P&P

Re: Time for New Brake Pads
That's almost exactly what I got out of the OEM rear set on my '18 R1250RT. My mechanic said you'll generally get 2x Rears to 1x pair of fronts. At just over 22,000 miles I'm still on the OEM front and the replacement rears (EBC) have performed well enough.

Re: Time for New Brake Pads
I've just replaced the front and rear pads on my 1250RT. I also use EBC HH pads.
Replaced them due to how rusty they were, they still have loads of life in them.
Tried Brembo pads on my Gen2 Busa and hated them.
EBC have a much better feel to them.
