What are the reasons that some Bajaj Platina 100 owners complain of rapid brake shoes wear and bad braking performance?
One of the most common recurring problems in Bajaj Platina 100 discussions is the rear drum brake seemingly wearing out the brake shoes very quickly. Some owners say they are having to replace brake shoes much sooner than expected, sometimes as early as 10,000 to 15,000 km and others are complaining about poor overall braking performance, some riders even feeling unsafe during emergency stops. Is this a problem that occurs on most production batches, or just a few? Was this influenced by riding habits, road conditions, or is there some fundamental design flaw? I want to take a look at why the Platina’s braking system is seemingly a point of contention for owners.
In 20,000 km I've had to replace my rear brake shoes twice. Compared to my old Hero bike, they wear out so quickly, it is ridiculous.
