Rear pads

[MisterDavey]

Good evening Strommers, and traitors.
I just ordered rear pads for my 2023> M3 1050, then realised I'd ordered for 2014-2021 ABS 

What are the chances of them fitting, or do I cancel the order?
My rear pads are leaving a lot (a heck of a lot) of dust on the rear rim, but barely anything on the front. Considering the front do so much of the work, this is surprising. So, I thought I'd swap them out for some EBC.

Are you sure it’s brake dust? My 1050 rear wheel comes back caked in dust after every dry ride, but I’ve always assumed it’s just road crap.
On my previous 650 I followed advice on here to go for EBC HH on the fronts and EBC organic on the rear, that worked really well. I plan to do the same with the 1050.

I'm pretty sure it's brake dust, it has that very "dense" feel to it, and it's quite smooth between the fingers.
I've ordered EBC sintered, I think they're HH.

I would check the brake isn't dragging or partially seized. When you get the new pads servicing the caliper ( clean the piston and lube the slider and retaining pins ) is time well spent. 

EBC HH here too.

Excellent, many thanks. I will do.
I just had a look on WeMoto, the part number is the same, so hopefully they're the correct pads.
It's a new bike, just less than 800 miles, it's barely making contact, but there is a little rubbing. Dealer said they need to bed in, which is OK, but not after this mileage. Besides, the front don't do it, and there's twice as many.

It's a 2023 machine (MY), and I got a huge discount, so I'm not complaining. If it's the same after changing pads, I'll know it's road dust, as suggested above.

To me, your bike is too new for the brake pedal pivot pin to cause any slow return to the rest position.  Never-the-less, I would recommend that you give the brake pivot pin a shot of chain lube or remove the brake pedal and apply grease to the pivot pin.    And while you are at it, lube the gearshift side as well.

If you go the pedal removal route, take care when removing the circlip. See the advice in reply #4 of https://www.v-strom.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=24890.0

Many thanks Gert, that's very good advice, and much appreciated.

MD.
Like yourself I've found my rear wheel caked in thick crud this year. On the last trip out when I noticed it, the long dry spell was at its height. I wondered if the roads were just plastered in oil and dust residue from months of no rain.
It took some getting off and wasn't the normal lube/brake dust mix.
It's been OK since.
Strange innit.
I'm using EBC HH's on the rear.
