Breaks

[jabamx6]

80+ temperatures over the weekend so I took my Scooter out 
Now the question - front breaks getting louder and louder after few miles, squeaky even on a light touch.
So time to replace or not?

I will take them down to check what's left on the pads but where do I get replacement? Any place or should I got with the original brand?

its normal  for your brakes to make noise ,sort of ....
over the winter the disc got some corrosion or light rust
 from no use   ... now they squeak.
 after riding (& stopping ) for about  50miles & cleaning the
disc with brake cleaner & a rag every 20miles. 
the noise should go away.

under normal conditions,
brake pads  should last for  8,000+/-  miles,
depending where you live eg; city or country,
stop & go or few stops- countryside ride.
so i doubt its equipment unless its a problem of
some kind. 
if you need genuine TGB stock parts let me know .

just in case  you really want to check
heres the spec's;
WEAR LIMITS                            STANDARD       LIMIT
Bore of Brake Drum                      110.0       110.7
Brake Lining O.D.                          119.2        1060
