Personally, I don’t think this is too bad on the tread. I managed to get 17,500 kms out of the rear tyre and I could squeeze a few more out I’d say. I had a new set fitted ready for crating, so when I start out in South Korea at least I have fresh rubber.

I was going to fit new brake pads too, but the ones on there don’t look to bad. Considering how small they are, I’ll buy a set to take with me. It’s a fairly simple job to change them and it’ll be nice to have spares.
