Cost of changing breaking pads on motorbike?

[learningthaihelp]

Does anybody know how much should I expect to pay for changing breaking pads on motorbike? Just front wheel. Material + work. Its 125ccm scooter, if its any relevant.

 

Just want to know if their will try to rip me off...I have no idea how much should I expect.

Nobody?

Drums or discs?

 

Disc pads can be replaced in about 5 minutes flat if you've done it before, so my guess would be about 50 baht plus parts

 

Drums take a bit longer, but not much, as you need to drop the front wheel. But again, only 10 minutes work.

 

Why don't you give it a go yourself? Very few tools required and one of the simplest jobs you could try.

Wow, 720 for a 125 cc?  You got ripped off.  My Yamaha is a 135 Nouvo, and I pay about 100-120 to get new brakes installed, but to be fair I speak a fair amount of Thai and the DS shop owner and I have had a few drinks of Sang Som now and again.

should be little more  than the price of parts, labour is dirt cheap
