Reelthing has a stainless rotor I think.Seems he( its been a while, so I am unsure) likes the stopping of it. I want to say its an EBC product. Some have gone to stainless braided hose to get rid of Hose Bulge when braking hard. I kinda dont get it. I feel like the front brake does as good a job as it needs to do. I can hear the front start to squall a bit sometimes, which is my cue to relax the grip some, else I be doing the squalling.

My OEM pads lasted 3380 miles.  After reading this thread, I ordered a set of EBC Organic Pads for bikebandit.com for $33 including shipping.

I've already pulled the old ones and it was way easier than doing the brakes on my Ranger.

That's encouraging.  I just got some EBC red pads at the dealer.  $28.  I'll probably be mounting them tomorrow.

When I first fitted my EBC discs and pads KLX stopped really good, but the performance has tailed off a bit. What to do ?
Thanks.

Got the EBC pads on yesterday, along with a front wheel, disk, and tire musical chairs game.  No more squeekage, and seems to stop just fine.  Most importantly, the wheel hasn't fallen off yet, so I must have done something right.

That lack of a squeal is going to be nice.

I can't really tell a difference, the stockers were down to  about .0001 when I realized how shot they were.  I used the fronts very gingerly after that so as to not do any more damage to the rotor, so i dont have a before and after comparison.  Sorry.
