The problem is that i live in a island , and they are the only official suzuki workshop, so i depend on them for the all the checkups during the warranty !
Anyway i believe this was a honest mistake , im sure they will never do it again !

Now for the reason why, lets imagine you have an accident on your next ride out, you accidently knock someone down resulting in their serious injury or death. The police will carry out an inspection of your bike to see if any faults could have contributed to the accident. They discover the contaminated brake pads. They will conclude from this that you could not slow down as fast as you should. They question you about the fault and you divulge that this has been a problem for a while. The police now have you bang to rights for failing to maintain your motor vehicle and would probably put most of the blame on you even if you couldn't avoid the accident.

Get them changed!
That is a fair point ! the rear break fells almost good as new now , but as Speedy told , there is the danger of sweaty pads . im planing a long ride this weekend , if i fell anything funny on the rear breaks , or the engine , i will go talk to the dealer .

And i believe they will fix it ... or break something else
