redwingedblackbird Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Seems that it's time to replace the rotors and pads What's the general recommendation on these items for street and spirited canyon runs? No track days in the future... mostly casual rides with some fun corners System is de-linked if that info is relevant thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I like the EBC HH green pads but really haven't tried too many other aftermarket pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Honest question, why do you think it is time for new rotors? They seem to be last forever on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall that the pads were getting on the thin side, but the rotors looked fine. I didn't measure them, but they didn't look to need replacing.

SwampNut Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Greens are nice, slightly mushy when wet. HH are aggressive, and I really liked them. I ran various Galfers and always liked them also. Yes, that's whitebird's owner. I thought I put new pads on it, or at least, I ordered them. I think maybe I did fronts and not rears. I should check my moto parts box and see if I managed to order them and forget them. Wait, where am I? What was I doing? Who are you?

Maybe brake pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you? haha.... yea I'm the whitebird owner... again (thanks to swampnut) Had a new set of tires put on and shop mentioned that rotors and pads should be checked into... Bike is still in AZ at my bud's place, so I haven't personally pulled the calipers to check the pads and haven't measured the rotor thickness/runout I don't know if you swapped in new pads or not Heading out to AZ late this month and will inspect... if you happen to have a new set of pads let me know Thanks yall...

SwampNut Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I checked, don't have any. Maybe it was the other bike I bought some for and confused them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organic or sintered? I believe sintered have HH rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedWings I didn't measure the rotors, but they looked fine. And there was no sign of warpage. I kinda recall the pads being on the low side, but that might be my other Bird.

The double H is only sintered as far as I can tell. https://ebcbrakes.com/products/motorcycle-brake-pads/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
