And from the UK too.
At least 10k. How many miles have you done and have you checked them or have had an issue?

My auto correct working overtime on the word brake it would seem
The reason for my post was that for some reason I only managed 3000 miles on my rear pads.
I think the calliper is sticking but my dealership is blaming the muffs I added.
I removed the muffs the day after they replaced the pads but it still sounds like the rear brakes are sticking to me, so its off to the dealership again next week.

Sticking rear caliper is a common complaint on the SH and the Forza.
There has been discs and calipers replaced on Forzas under warranty.

I did mention this but as with most dealerships they dont want to admit to their being a problem

Mine just had its 16,000 mile service and the first set of pads in the front caliper were almost down to the wear limit.
The second set of pads in the rear caliper were worn past the wear limit.
I always use both brakes together, work that one out.....

Just lube the sliding caliper pins every brake replacement. Make sure you use a proper brake caliper grease or lube that can withstand the sliding action and heat. Scooter brakes are way easier in some ways to work on than car brakes but the reassembly can be harder because of how tiny the parts and tools are.

When I had my fuel pump (recall) replaced the mechanic said that calipers and seats were most of the warranty repairs and not any fuel pumps. He pulled out a warranty binder with all his paperwork and said he had repaired/replaced about 25% of what they had sold for one or the other. I have no idea if that is excessive or a normal rate in the scooter world.

What was wrong with the seats?
