Can I replace my motorcycles rear brake pads with newer pads from the front of the bike?
Possible but DONT, replace the rear set. Bikes do 80% of the braking on the front.
Not a very good idea, but if the calipers are the same, then yes. Just be aware that the pads wear down with the rotor in a specific pattern. If you switch the calipers, it will probably eat the pads up pretty fast, and not be as safe overall. Its a better idea just to get new ones. They arent very expensive to replace, and having all your brakes working properly is essential on a motorcycle.
It is not recommended. IF the pads are the same, yes, of course they will fit, but they have worn in differently on the front and will not be perfectly flat and not correctly mate to the rear disc or drum.
