Brake pads

Following on from my queries in another thread where Kev (Skids) helped immensely, I think I will get some EBC brake pads for the Monster but which ones? They do the cheaper organic ones or the double H sintered ones. See here:

Anyone had both types to give a comparison? Which works best?

I prefer english oak on my pads than mahogony, but at times they still feel "wooden"!






Ok Ok I`ll get my coat.

Bendix seem to often be quoted as the pads to use.

It can depend on what use you put the bike to, steady road, fast road, occasional trackday, or trackday nutter!!

FWIW I use OEM spec Brembo in the Front and organic?? EBC ( FA47) in the rear on a 998. The rears are very soft and don't last as long as the fronts by a long way but they do give a back brake that will lock the rear wheel if required.

Pads can be a personal choice, different makes/compounds etc give different charateristics and "feel", some require a good bit of heat in them to give their best.

To be honest pads don't cost a fortune and its very important that you are happy with the brakes so if you go for something that you are not happy with try something else.

Not sure if that helps or makes the choice more difficult.

Ray.

Thanks guys.

The bike will probably be road only and I ride dog slow everywhere!!

Katana what was the bad experience?

Anyone know of a decent online seller of brembo pads? I found one but did not have them for the monster. Or bendix?

I've used HH pads from EBC and they worked fine, only my personal opinion of course and others may have had different experiences.

Try there.

I agree, Brembo are top pads for the road. EBC HH are OK, as are Carbon Lorraine SBK3s. Bendix are good race pads, I'd avoid them for road use, same for Performance Friction - awesome track performance but they need to be warm to work!

Nowt wrong with EBC HH sintered we used them 3 years running at the TT in 2002 on the Fireblade, 2003 on the R6 and 2004 on the ZXR400
Adrian trusted his life to them and they never let him down and he wasn't hanging about 108mph laps on the 400 and 115mph laps on the others
