Before a recent trip to Yorkshire I noticed that the front
tyre on my FJ1200 was a bit worn. I decided to swap the wheel with that on my
old FJ that had a new tyre on it. When I removed the old bike's wheel one of
the front pads fell apart. The pad material had detached from the steel backing
plate. Moisture must have got in and caused corrosion forcing it off.
I
don't think that the pad would fall out while you were going because there's no
gap between the pad & disc but it's a scary thought that I'd been riding
about with it like that.
