I checked the wear on my brake pads today and noticed the front right brake pads are worn more than the front left ones,anyone know why this is happening or is this normal? I only have alittle over 6k on my spyder.

This isn't what I would consider normal. Does it pull to one side or another (hard to tell when ABS kicks in)? I would certainly mention it to my dealer if it is tha noticeable.

It is only one of the front right brake pads one is worn more than the other,I did consider if it was pulling to one side but like you said when the ABS kicks in it is hard to tell,I will mention this to my dealer.
thanks Scotty

When only one pad wears badly, it is usually a result of a caliper that does not move freely on a single piston caliper. Contaminated or corroded mounting sleeves or pins can be a cause, as can inadequately lubed parts.
