The Brembo brake pads on my BMW motorcycle wore so unevenly that I rotated
them at every oil change. I forget which side wore faster, but I presume
it had to do with a single piston, essentially pushing one pad against the
disc which then had the added burden of moving the caliper before the other
pad touched.
