You probably don't need new pads but check 'em anyway just to be sure. Unless you're racing, OEM pads are the way to go.

They'll have the wear indicator slit on the pad. I replace mine with 14000 and they still were not all that bad. I'd say keep the ones you have for now, 3800 is nothing unless you're tearing up the track.

Many stock pads are plenty good. I'm still using the stock pads in my SV racebike.
