What kind of brakes does the R1200C classic have?
The R1200 C is therefore equipped with a large and powerful three-disc braking system. Twin, 305 mm (12 inch) discs are fitted to the front wheel and a single 288 mm (11.22 inch) disc is at the rear. Brembo four-piston fixed calipers operate the front brake while twin-piston floating calipers activate the rear.

When do I know it’s time to replace the brakes on my BMW?
Jittery braking and pulsations through the brake pedal are good indications, along with your foot sinking to the floor when you apply the brakes. Also, if it feels like it takes longer distances to come to a complete stop, it’s time for a brake system service. Sometimes brake pads and rotors aren’t the problem.

What to do about BMW R1200GS LC rear brake failure?
My rear brake on my 2017 r1200gsa was pretty much useless at less than 6000 miles. I took it in for my 6000 mile service yesterday. I made sure that they knew about the brake issue also. BMW recommends brake flush at 6000 mile service. The brake went almost all the way down before it would stop the wheel on the bike lift.
Is it normal for BMW disc pads to wear faster?
THAT is hardly ever discussed. In general, BMW front brake pads tend to wear VERY SLOWLY, and the rear DISC pads tend to wear much faster. Some of this is because of the rider’s habits, but even with good use of the brakes, the faster rear wear is normal.
