After my Forza got a front puncture I had it recovered to my local dealer.
I got a phone call today to say that I need new pads front and back as well as a new rear disc as it was down to the metal - after 3k miles?!!
Most of my miles are commuting and that's a mix of carriageway and motorway FFs!
Apparently the rear tyre needs replaced too so after 3k miles I need pads and tyres front and back which with 2hrs labour comes to a grand total of £400!!!!
I will definitely be making asking for some sort of gesture from Honda - am I being unreasonable?
Do you get a pulsing sensation when braking gently?
Not the abs kicking in, just when braking gently.
If so you have a sticky caliper and a warped disc, common on the SH300 and will also be on the Forza.
Mine has had a new rear disc and pads under warranty.
Obviously the more you use the brakes the quicker they will wear out.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
Ask for your old parts. If they tell you they through them out already talk to the owner. Here in the US they must give you your old parts. If they can't prove to you that they were worn out I would not pay.

I did not know this... my mechanic lives on the block and works out his garage. Most the time I hang out during repairs or tune ups, used the same guy for too long... is this a new law?
