Mine just clock 5k km on odometer and now got noise when breaking. Is this break pad problem?

Is this break pad problem? see the picture attached...notice the metal plate at the back of the pad (inner pad) i'm not sure these shape are suppose to be there. it has a round deep pressing groove shape which i believe the brake piston. outer pad back metal are flat straight. i maybe wrong but if these metal piece is soft, would guess uneven pressure distribution onto the inner & outer pads while applying brake. would conclude that's the reason why my inner pads are still thicker compared to the outer one. i would suggest you to get yours check and replace as well if the findings are the same..

change to aftermarket brake pads.. people said that NBK brand got already for CFE.. if dunt have, just change to stock.. i have change to stock brake pad coz that time no aftermarket yet..(i believe until now dunt have for cfe)
no planning to change steel braided hose for the brakes, brand ProRs.. cost to change is 500 at kakimoto sunway(if u can bargain more).. after that will do slotted drill to the front discbrake (160 per pair).. huahua.. spray the discbrake with project u colour.. whoallaa..
will update the pic before raya.. hahah

Should all this problem under warranty or customer need to pay to replace it?

rOnnyJustrOn,
not sure bout these wear & tear..since your ride are only clocking 5k odo, you can try to seek warranty n no pay. but then they may just replace you with OEM parts.
seems there's an aftermarket NBK brake pads as per zakinawi's info and there's Bendix as 2die4 & i'm with "Super Brake" brand for now
