 Rear Brake Caliper
I had the rear brake caliper changed earlier this month. BRP warrantied all work. I have posted pictures of the caliper. Anybody have any idea how this happened?
2008 GS SE5 in 2008
Traded at 43,000 miles for a left over
2010 RT SM5 in 2011
Traded at 57,000 for a left over
2014 RTS SE6 in 2015, which has 35,000 miles
Oct 19th, 2017, totaled 2014 RT while killing a Javaline
Dec 12th, 2017 drove a 2017 F3L home. What an awesome machine!
Never had any breakdown stranded issues.

. . . . I thought it was Doc who was posting and I know he never uses his brakes. 
So, somehow, the disc started grinding the caliper ( from the last picture )? Was it loose?

El cheapo metal that got worn away by viberation. Either that or the new backing on the pad is harder than the caliper material.

Looks like the pad came off the groove on the pin and raddled around.
That might go under Sh** Happens, At least they covered it.
Bye the way what did the dealer say caused it?

No one at dealer has ever seen this before on any caliper...motorcycle or Spyder. BRP did want the caliper to examine it.

I just broke down the rear brakes to change pads @ 29K miles. They were getting thin and also the Brake Error message occasionally flashing. This one has the same wear pattern as Dudley's, not quite as severe. I've not seen wear on the brake pins before like this. Amazingly, the brake pads were worn quite parallel.
My hunch is the pin/bolts are flexing during (heavy) braking, allowing the pad to move/rub on the pin section. If the pins wear, then the pad can slide as one brakes going forward/reverse, rubbing the pad across the cylinder.
She's just out of the 2-year waranty period (by 2 weeks). We'll see how the BEST waranty works as I certainly would expect the brake caliper to be worn out.
