Failed the NH motorcycle inspection because:
1) some previous owner clearly let the pads run too low and they put a slight groove in the rotor that you can feel but not see.
2) pads don't look like they have enough life left in them.
#2 I can get, although with this being a vintage, slow-ass cruiser it's not like I'll toast the rest of the pads in a day. But fine, pads are low, he wants them changed a bit sooner than I would. They were slated for replacement anyway.
But #1? Is having slight grooves in the rotor from pads not being changed by a previous owner 15 years ago really a safety issue? Not even like he was trying to gig me for parts... he doesn't sell the stuff. He just wants me to have it fixed and bring it back. Strikes me as odd... I've had cars inspected with rotors that were destroyed and needing replacement without issue. Anyone else fail for something like this? Those of you that do inspections, would you fail somone for this?
NH, if it matters.
