Replacing Brake Pads -- Crazy Simple

When asked why his cars had such lousy brakes, Mr Bugatti answered, " my cars are made for going, not stopping" or something to that effect.

Although I am not a racer, when I ride aggressively, I try to ride smoothly with minimal breaking. After all, when you brake you make heat. That heat is wasted energy to achieving forward motion.

Don't forget to return the plates. #2 in the diagram.

I had to replace mine after 6200kms. Traffic in this country is horrendous.

I have 19000 miles on my bike and the pads look almost new. Than again there isn't much traffic here or stop lights

I think you misunderstood me, you can replace the pads but the old ones can't be refurbished
Unless under certain circumstances like a classic car that you can't buy a replacement
Really? So you let it wear down till it's metal to metal and no brakes?

I want Organic

Does anyone have any experience with EBC brake pads? I got myself a set (2 pairs for the front, and 1 for the rear) at SGD$180.

Front - SFA142HH
Rear - SFA196HH

Any opinions on this?

Am I missing something? I did a search for EBC SFA-142 & SFA-196 ( Non Sintered) and pads for 3 rotors would cost $23 each for a total of $66 for a complete set of new shoes.

I wouldn't worry about more rapid wear on organic pads. My Goldwing 1800 had pads just about the same size as those on the GT. If they can stop that beast and give good service as they did they'll do the job fine on the scooter. I do prefer the less abrupt operation of the organics. I suspect the sintered pads might trigger the ABS more often since they are grabbier but of course don't know if that will prove true. Like everything your mileage will vary and some like one, some the other.

The HH pads are sintered.. And, it's in SGD.. So I'll have to do a x1.5 / x1.6 to a USD. And include shipping. And since I bought it from a workshop here, they charged me $20 to get it installed. Didn't have a choice since my pads were worn thin, and I didn't want to wait a month for the pads as I commute to work on the C600.
