Front brake? (Read 78 times)

norm92de Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 1180 El Paso TX Gender:	Front brake? 04/05/18 at 14:47:20 I have a question. What are the preferred brake pads? My bike will need new ones soon. The stock Suzuki pads have done pretty well.

I like the EBC organic - part number FA106. They stop well, don't wear too fast, are easy on the disc, and they don't squeal like the stock pads do.

(Be careful not to order the EBC FA106TT that are red, as they are really made for dirt bikes and muddy conditions, and they make for a very hard lever squeeze and mediocre stopping power).

Organics for me too. Bike had the factory pads when I bought it with 2800 miles and they squealed like a psychotic pig with Tourette syndrome getting poked in they eye with an ice pick dipped in lime juice.

Put the organic EBC's on and got 6K on them. Next sets got 4300 and 3300 miles. Maybe I'm riding more aggressively? I do lightly sand the rotor with each pad change to be sure I get any metal bits or contaminants off before the new pads touch them.

The last set was during a Summer of many trips through the Colorado Rockies so that could have contributed. As easy and cheap as they are to replace, it's fine with me!

2800 miles and they squealed like a psychotic pig with Tourette syndrome getting poked in they eye with an ice pick dipped in lime juice.

The pig has Ample justification for squealing without Any kinda psyche issues. A perfectly sane, rational and socially well adjusted pig would be making all the noise it could manage.
Though you do create a word picture that anyone can understand. Very nice job.
