That is just simply NOT true. WAY too general a statement.
There are several reasons for noise from disk pads that do not mean they are worn out. A lot of Suzuki bikes have front brakes that make noise when they are applied since their first day on the street; brand new. It's because of the kind of pads they use. The GZ is one of those models.
If the noise changes, gets louder or is noticeable when the brakes are NOT applied, then it is time for an inspection but not an automatic pad replacement. A simple cleaning might solve the problem.
