Here's is what I found on my son's CBR1000RR when he said he was hearing a scraping sound from the front wheel. One of the rear pads separated and one on each of the front calipers separated. NEVER seen that before. The brake pads were maybe a little over a year old. The brand is Volar. (I did not put them on - a friend of his did)
If one of the front pads managed to fall out while riding, he would not have any front brakes at all. Very scary. Needless to say after showing him the failed parts, he will NOT make that mistake again.
