Had the CBR in for an MOT the other day, And they said it failed on the brake pads being low, PANTS i said show me!!!!! as it happened they where low but not on the limit. But what he said next was new to me,

"oh there sintered pads, mmm the limit on sintered pads is lower than kevlar ones, so i guess its a pass" wahoo!

Basically he said later, that with sintered pads you can go down to 1mm and they'll still pass your MOT but standard pads are 1.5mm sounds weird to me! Can anyone confirm? worth knowing just incase you do have pads on the limit and need an MOT
