Guys my blade is not due for a service for another while but the brake pads need changing. I want to know what's the recommended choice? I commute on the bike every day but also go for spins at the weekend. I do the very odd track day but mostly concerned with day to day road performance. Any pointers? Thanks
Brembo, Brembo & Brembo, expensive but worth it! I've got the red ones in my ZX10R and they are amazing, ready from cold and so much 'feel'.
If you go to Bike HPS they will sell you Brembo's and if you don't like them, return them for a refund.
Run Brembo pads on my Track Bike but would not recommend for the road. OEM are good but these are better and cheaper and are widely used by Forum members OP! Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade Front Brake Pads SBS Sintered 809HS 2004-2013 at MSR Motorcycle Spares
Thanks lads, I'd say OEM will be fine for me. I live in Ireland so need to order online from someone who will post to me. Any ideas? MSR only post to UK
There U go Colly, if U follow the link kindly provided by MadG you'll see how the Brembo Pads come in at just under £80 for a full set compared to under £40 for the SBS one's in my link. You pays ya money and......................................... Try buying off ebay if delivery to Ireland is an issue? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-CBR...ds-SBS-Sintered-809HS-2004-2013-/181305975880
Bendix MRR sintered pads are supposed to be a great in between road, fast road and track. A bit of a 'do it all'. I have recently bought some to go on soon, but have no first hand experience unfortunately. Either way at £50 a set for both sets for up front is reasonable.
standard honda pads are very very good,tried quite a few different sets in my blade and found the standard pads as good as anything else.bendix are awesome,but i used the mcr's,no good for road riding though
